About — Musonda Veronica Malama
Programme Director · TEDx Speaker · Author

I did not
find my path.
I built it.

Born in Zambia. Raised in the UK. A law graduate who said yes to Indonesia at 22 — without knowing where it was on a map — and never stopped saying yes since.

14 years. Three missions. One thread: transformation.

Musonda Veronica Malama was born in Zambia and moved to the UK as a child — shaped by two cultures, two ways of seeing the world, and an unshakeable belief that ambition is not inherited. It is chosen.

A law graduate who pivoted into technology, she took her first leap of faith at 22 — accepting a role in Indonesia without knowing where the country was on a map. No plan, no safety net, no one telling her it was a good idea. Just a decision to say yes before she felt ready. That moment became the foundation of everything that followed — and the origin of her keynote, Say Yes: Embrace the Unknown.

"The boundaries of impossibility are not fixed.
They move every time you decide to keep going."

Over 14 years she rose from project coordinator to Programme Director — leading multi-million pound D365 implementations, rescuing programmes on the brink of failure, and managing complex System Integrator partnerships for some of the UK's most recognised organisations. Named Insider LA Person of the Year 2025 in recognition of her contribution to transformation programmes.

Her speaking journey began even earlier — in Year 10, winning a competition as part of Liverpool's Capital of Culture and travelling to the United States to represent the city on an international stage. That conviction — that a single voice in the right room can shift everything — has taken her to TEDx, Accountex, Manchester Tech Week, London Tech Week, and corporate stages across the UK and beyond.

Today she runs MVM Consulting for organisations that need a transformation expert when the stakes are highest, Corporate Climb™ for ambitious women ready to move faster in corporate, and speaks to audiences who need to hear that transformation is not something that happens to you. It is something you choose.
