Beata Mandy Shemuvalula

Mandy Shemuvalula has over two years experience working with international companies in marketing. She is currently the founder and CEO of Gloca Inc., an organization with a mission to reinvent product distribution in Africa as a customer experience, as a business, and ultimately as an industry. Beata Mandy Shemuvalula enjoys working with children and as a result launched The M’ché Trust (TMT), a philanthropic foundation helping to develop the next generation of children in Namibia and eventually the rest of Africa through mind sub-consciousness, wellness, and asset matchmaking. Mandy holds an honors degree in Business and Commerce from Monash University in Malaysia, where she focused on International Marketing for Malaysian consumers. Upon completion of the Washington Fellowship, she plans to capitalize on new collaborations and thinking to further democratize global access for African consumers through Gloca, and continue with TMT to find innovative ways for community organization and development for children in Namibia and beyond. Mandy was one of 100 Fellows competitively selected to participate in an 8-week internship in the United States following the Mandela Washington Fellowship academic institute. She interned at Coca-Cola in August-September 2014.
