What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values compliance and legal integrity, fostering growth.

I am a dedicated Legal, Risk and Compliance Advisor with a strong background in providing legal support and ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements. My experience spans over a decade, during which I have developed and implemented compliance frameworks, conducted audits, and provided legal guidance to senior management. I am passionate about fostering a culture of compliance within organizations and have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to achieve this goal.

At Botswana Life Insurance Limited, I assess the impact of legislative changes and guide the business in implementing necessary controls. My previous role as Legal, Risk and Compliance Manager at Botswana Insurance Holdings Limited allowed me to draft and review contracts, provide legal opinions, and participate in regulatory forums. I pride myself on my ability to manage legal records effectively and ensure compliance with data protection laws, thereby minimizing legal risks for the organizations I serve.
