**Patricia Katshabala Kathie**
Head of Operations Supervision in the DRC
Director of External Relations at Vodacom Congo, Patricia embodies a new generation of African leaders: visionary, strategic, and deeply rooted in impact. Since 2013, she has grown within the Vodacom group, rising through the ranks thanks to her expertise in communications, public relations, strategic partnerships, and B2B issue management.
A graduate in Economics and Communication Strategies (Daystar University, Kenya), Patricia honed her skills at Nestlé before joining Vodacom, where she now leads large-scale projects at the crossroads of strategy, social impact, and sustainable development.
Convinced that African talent is the engine of sustainable transformation, she actively works to strengthen the Vodacom Foundation's partnerships with financial, mining, and public institutions. She also holds an EMBA in Business Administration from the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.
Her time in the AWE (Academy for Women Entrepreneurs) program, in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy in the DRC, solidified her conviction: mentoring is not just a role; it is a mission.
Today, she brings her experience, vision, and commitment to the service of a new generation through the Ubuntu network. For Patricia, passing on knowledge is an investment in the future—and every talent supported is one step closer to a stronger Africa.
