ABSTRACT
In spite of having no experience in the industry, Sibongile Sambo dreamed of founding an aviation company in South Africa. After years as a human resources manager, she secured a small amount of money from her family and established a company to broker contracts between aviation companies and clients. Soon thereafter she started to charter flights and lease airplanes, mostly for cargo. Her background loomed large when reflecting on her entrepreneurial voyage and thinking about the importance of networking, mentoring, and leading.
