Noky Simbani earned a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from one of the leading institutions in Great Britain. Having worked as an engineer, she is now a qualified chartered banker and currently works on marketing-leading projects to support business growth.

As someone who works in male-dominated fields, Simbani is passionate about empowering women to achieve their full potential in their careers. Harnessing her own voice and the voices of others, she launched Boss Bios, a platform which celebrates the achievements of female leaders and encourages others to follow in their footsteps. She also hosts Boss Brunches where she shares practical advice for celebrating successes with conviction.

Outside of her regular work, she is a diversity and inclusion ambassador and a careers ambassador, sharing her career journey with young people across the country to help develop their professional skills. She is also a BAME ambassador for SmartWorks, a charity that provides personal styling, clothing, and coaching for unemployed women. As a representative of the nonprofit organization, A-Sisterhood, she has traveled to India to work with Stop Acid Attacks to raise funds and awareness for their survivors.

Simbani also loves to travel and in 2019 embarked on a solo adventure touring 7 countries across Asia and Australia within just six weeks. Drawing, painting, cooking, and baking are amongst her hobbies and talents.
