Rahim Khan & Associates
Matshidiso is one of the best Africa advocates and consultants with whom I have worked. Matshidiso is in that rare league of great consultants who are both effective and efficient.
Bairds CMC
Matshidiso provided senior leadership and a contributed with a fantastic network of connections to help us setting out the strategy for a new health initiative and connect this with many different stakeholders. The project was highly complex and had to be managed at the highest political level by Matshidiso. I personally also greatly enjoyed to work with her on other projects as well, thanks to her straightforward, no-nonsense work style and enthusiasm to support team work and partners, and very much hope to get another opportunity soon again.
NJORD Management Consulting
I worked with Matshidiso over the course of several years at as a colleague at IAVI. Matshidiso is an excellent advocate in her remarkable ability to connect on a personal level with a range of people, and she is particularly adept at positively engaging influential individuals. She listens well, works hard and thinks strategically. She has a fluidity in working across countries and cultures. While serious about her work, she also has a great sense of humour.
