Chad Chawanda Biography

Chad Chawanda is the Founder and Executive Chairman of the Size Chunk Group. A Zimbabwean-born entrepreneur, Chawanda began his journey in 2002 at the age of 16 amid the economic collapse of his home country. His breadth of experience, spanning over 20 years, extends across multiple sectors, including the import and export industry throughout Africa. Chawanda's entrepreneurial adventure has been characterized by operating in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) business environment.

A notable addition to his professional portfolio is his podcast, "Scix African Trade Talks." Launched in 2020, the podcast serves as a knowledge-sharing platform for doing business in Africa and the Africa Continental Free Trade Area. Quickly gaining recognition, the podcast secured a partnership with the Intra Africa Trade Fair, an initiative of Afreximbank in collaboration with the Africa Continental Free Trade Area and the African Union. It has now reached listeners across six continents and more than 50 countries and is listed as one of the top African business podcasts, with over 130 guests interviewed and episodes published.

Chawanda's endeavors are not limited to his entrepreneurial pursuits. He is also engaged in digital marketing, focusing on establishing a substantial digital presence for his brands and providing employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Having exported over 35,000 tons of varied products to some of the most challenging markets in Africa, Chawanda has set ambitious objectives. He aims to establish businesses across all 55 African Union Member States and develop the first AFCFTA export trading Unicorn, with the potential to employ over 1000 individuals. In addition to these plans, he has founded a trust to foster community building and philanthropy in Africa.

  • Building & Running A Business: Setting the Right Culture & Building Systems for Success

    We live in a fast changing world, where our greatest strengths can be our greatest weaknesses. What got us to a certain level of efficiency or motivation might not be what we need to get us to the next level. How do we adapt to these changes that in most cases we don’t control? How do we know when it’s the right time to make the next move? How do we inspire our teams when we ourselves are trying to understand what is ahead of us? If we have the right team, correct systems and the ability to adapt to change and unlearn some of the things we have been relying on to succeed, our chance of thriving becomes higher.

  • Fighting VUCA: Lessons from a Zimbabwean Entrepreneur

    The word VUCA which means Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguity describes the world we live in today. The question is how did we get here? With all the developments happening from science to technology and the need to improve the quality of life for humanity, comes with many other challenges. Globalisation brought about so many advantages and disadvantages, how do we navigate all this? The biggest one was the closing of the world because of Covid 19. There are some key lessons from Zimbabwe, a country that has experienced the most of VUCA. Some of the key highlights are the highest level of inflation worldwide, total electricity blackouts for days, unavailability of money (hard currency) on the market, banks banned from lending, laws being created and people being arrested for violations of these said laws, even prior to the law being enforced. With all this and more, a multi million dollar business is built, with no political patronage and without corruption.

The balanced approach is driven more by discipline, the discipline to invest in Health, through diet and exercise, the discipline to invest in Social well being through building and naturing social relationships. The discipline to invest in growth of the mind through continuous learning and development. The discipline in setting goals in all areas of life including spiritual and reviewing those goals from time to time.
