Nomzana (Zana) Augustin, Alumni Engagement Manager

Nomzana (Zana) Augustin is MLT’s Alumni Engagement Manager. She ensures that our alumni can access the resources and opportunities needed to impact their workplaces and communities.

As a third-culture kid, born and raised across a number of countries, she found herself adopting a variety of cultures that have today shaped her global perspective and particular interests in tech, business, culture and social impact. Before joining MLT, she spent the bulk of her career on USAID, PEPFAR and private company projects that aimed to realize economic development through public health, youth employment, agriculture and tech solutions. She also co-founded and managed a digital platform that was dedicated to closing economic gaps for underrepresented talent seeking opportunities in her immediate community. Her academic background is a combination of business, public policy and management, graduating most recently from Johns Hopkins. To balance out her professional self, you can either find her curating playlists for small audiences, reading about past and present cultural practices, or attending tech and entrepreneurship events.
