CHANTAL GAKWAYA – professional profile





Chantal was born and raised in Kigali, Rwanda (East-Central Africa). Her life transformed dramatically in 1994 during the Rwandan genocide that devastated the nation. Soon after the genocide Chantal relocated to the United States to complete her tertiary education. At the young age of 19, she graduated from the University of Southern New Hampshire with a double major in Business Science and Information Technology.



Chantal is a dynamic individual that is fluent in five languages which have assisted her throughout her career in marketing and sales in the Global Marketplace. With a background in sales and marketing for Fortune 500 companies she quickly moved through the ranks in the semi-conductor industry and within a short period of time was recognized as the top performing sales representative.



In 2003, Chantal left corporate America and went into business for herself specializing in advertising and marketing services for real estate professionals, business brokers and the middle market arenas within the mergers and acquisitions field.
