This award marks the second high-profile recognition Ms. Ansell has received this year, further cementing her reputation as a leader in Tanzania’s corporate world. Earlier, she was celebrated as the top-performing female CEO, an accolade that highlighted her achievements and resilience during the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Her leadership has been a beacon of strength and adaptability, setting a standard for business executives navigating economic uncertainty.

 

With this recognition, Ms. Ansell’s contributions not only enhance her own profile but also contribute to uplifting Tanzania’s corporate community, encouraging innovation, and driving positive economic growth.

This tribute underscores her long-standing commitment to developing a business model that serves as a bridge between tourism and community well-being.

 

Ms. Ansell’s work has made a considerable impact not only on Tanzania’s tourism landscape but also on the lives of many marginalized communities around Mount Kilimanjaro and in the Moshi region. Through Zara TTanzania Adventures and Zara Charity, she has championed environmental sustainability by actively involving local communities in conservation efforts. These initiatives help preserve the natural resources that are integral to Tanzania’s tourism while providing local residents with opportunities for economic growth and stability.

 

Zara Tanzania Adventures’ community-focused approach has been widely praised for its inclusivity. By working closely with local groups and employing a significant number of Tanzanian staff, Ms. Ansell has ensured that the benefits of tourism reach local populations. Her initiatives also extend to health and education, with Zara Charities providing essential support for schools, healthcare facilities, and environmental conservation programs.

 

Her recognition by TPSF affirms her status as a leader not only in tourism but also in sustainable development. As the global tourism industry increasingly seeks to align with sustainable practices, Ms. Ansell’s model stands as a blueprint for integrating economic progress with environmental stewardship and social responsibility.
