Not many would drop an international job offer with good remuneration terms to start up their own enterprise. Maxima Nsimenta is one of the rare tough-skinned personalities who desires to craft and add value to things.
After working with Schlumberger, an oilfield services company for two and a half years where she successfully led a team that installed a dual electrical pump unit in a deep sea in Congo, her supervisor was saddened about her decision to leave but gave her a paid leave of absence to rethink about her decision to join the cosmetics industry. This allowance helped her start off.
