Ingashian Gibendi

Ingashian Gibendi is the founder of Career Whisperer and a product strategist passionate about redefining career success for professionals across Africa. After losing her father in 2022 while working at what she thought was her “dream company,” Ingashian experienced a pivotal moment that reshaped her perspective on work and life. She realized that true career fulfillment comes not from titles or accolades, but from designing a career that allows you to live fully, even when life happens. Having pivoted across five roles in multiple countries, Ingashian has firsthand experience navigating the hidden costs of tech’s hustle culture. She now helps Africans identify career paths that align with their values, emphasizing the importance of choosing founders and managers who understand work-life integration. Through Career Whisperer, she equips professionals with actionable frameworks for networking, building visibility, and becoming hireable in a competitive landscape, demystifying assumptions that often limit growth. Driven by a mission to help Africans solve real problems with technology while building meaningful, sustainable careers, Ingashian challenges conventional notions of success and empowers others to create careers that serve their lives, not the other way around.
