Tania Habimana is a Rwandan entrepreneur with a passion for digital innovation and SME development in Africa. She was recently nominated as part of the Digital Female Leader Awards 2018 in the 'Global Hero' category; an initiative of the Global Digital Women network. From driving a brands' monthly turnover from 10,000 USD to a yearly turnover of 8 Million USD in just 18 months, to leading social media campaigns attracting over 100K followers in months, she is a 360 digital marketer and entrepreneur, that's not afraid of being hands-on. Her accolades have demonstrated an understanding of business and a flair for technology, and are further exemplified by her rapid ascension up the ranks from her entry-job as a digital analyst to her position as Commercial Director for Sub-Sahara Africa of the international fashion label Suitsupply, which earned her the recognition as person responsible for the international label's market-entry and expansion into the sub-Saharan African market.
