Andy Ncube
@andyncube
I build board governance, risk, and financial advisory solutions for complex organisations.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered board evaluations, King IV and King V governance frameworks, and company secretariat support for clients including Rand Water, National Lotteries Commission, SANAC, SANEDI, TASEZ, Broadband Infraco, and Nelson Mandela University. I translate governance evidence, stakeholder input, and risk data into practical board-ready recommendations.
Across consulting, financial advisory, and risk roles in South Africa, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe, I've led multidisciplinary teams, conducted ISO 31000 risk assessments, supported M&A due diligence and financial modelling, and facilitated strategic planning, impact studies, and public-finance training. I also use ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and large language models to research complex questions, structure analysis, and critically review outputs for clear client recommendations.
