After more than two decades in the workforce, this month's Architect of Impact, Mpho Dingalo, is known as Aprio's "people whisperer." Her work superpower is her innate ability to bring teams together, while staying calm under pressure, and ensuring every event and project runs seamlessly.
Her career began in the vibrant world of television, where she worked in the Publicity Department of the iconic South African show, Generations. That early exposure to storytelling laid the foundation for her career built on communication.
In 2015, Mpho took a leap of faith that would define the current chapter of her professional journey. She joined Aprio when the agency was just getting off the ground; a team of only eight people with big ambitions and even bigger potential. Nearly a decade later, she has grown alongside the agency.
Mpho's proudest milestone has been working on B20 South Africa, from its launch, through strategic recommendations and more recently, its handover. She is now part of the team working on the summit, which will be the convergence of all the year's work.
Mpho thrives on variety; one day her work is focused on the transportation sector, the next she's working on launching a beauty store campaign. This constant variety fuels her passion and keeps her engaged.
Her advice to young professionals is "Be kind to yourself, stay curious, and keep learning."🫶
Outside the office, Mpho is a foodie who loves cooking, trying new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends.
