Miriam Kaggwa fought and won her first corporate battles in Wall Street. She believes that one can be many things: Mother. Boss. Mentor. You don’t have to pick one.

Yet, her path to the corner office at one of Africa’s recognised marketing firms, WPP Scangroup, was never a straight line. It's a story marked by solid decisions, grabbing opportunities, a bubbly Kampala childhood, the rigour of a chemical engineer, and the hard-won wisdom of a woman who has learned to lead from life experiences.
