CFO Peter Kimingi chooses impact over glamour

‘Prior to joining the non-profit sector, one should ask oneself what makes one tick. If one is happy chasing a high-profit corporate job, this is not the right sector. This is a space for people looking to have an impact at a fundamental level and to create real change in people’s lives. It’s a shame that people often see this area as one for second-class citizens yet it is a critical cog that fills the void left by government and the private sector neglecting certain societal needs. It may not be glamorous, but if impact and meaningful work are what you’re looking for, then this is the sector for you,’ Peter says.

CFO Aneshree Naidoo makes numbers and moments count

As a would-be chemical engineer, Aneshree Naidoo is obsessed with understanding how things work across all dimensions. Consequently, in every role she has held, she asks plenty of questions to understand why things are the way they are and analyses impact of options and decisions in detail. This approach has its dangers; at a previous employer, she kept questioning suspicious activities and behaviours, which led to death threats—an experience she counts as one of the lows of her career.
