Paga Conversations – Mekdim Mamo

We had a fun chat with Mekdim Mamo!

Mekdim is a Software Support Manager in our Ethiopia office. She is inspired by her colleagues, is willing to eat Injera [fermented flatbread] every day for the rest of her life, and is a fan of Harvey Specter’s one-liners. 😎

Read on to learn more about her.

  • The three words that describe Paga for me the most are – Empathetic, Progressive, and Motivating.

  • Success for me is consistent growth that aligns with God’s plan for my life.
