Founder & CEO, impacTower
Janet Mulu ITS
Accredited International Trade Specialist & B-Leader
Janet Mulu is the Founder and CEO of impacTower — a sustainable trade advisory firm helping businesses go global with impact. She is an Accredited International Trade Specialist (ITS) and a certified B Leader, leading the organisation's strategy, growth, and impact across trade, sustainability, and client success.
With over 17 years of experience spanning international trade, corporate banking, and sustainability leadership, Janet has worked across Africa, the UK, and emerging markets. She has facilitated global programmes in trade finance and ESG, and is an award-winning advocate for gender equity and social innovation.
When she began her journey in international trade, one thing stood out: so many businesses with incredible ideas and products were held back — not by talent, but by missing sustainability certifications. Without these credentials, opportunities were missed, growth slowed, and partnerships limited. That is why she became a certified B Leader and founded impacTower — to help businesses turn sustainability from a checkbox into a strategic advantage.
