Message

I manage first-line risk and governance for Sanlam Group Risk under Sanlam Life Limited, following the transfer of Alexander Forbes' Long Term Insurance division to Sanlam.

My work spans risk, regulatory, compliance, and legal strategy, including drafting policies and processes and managing group-wide legal and regulatory requirements across Africa.

Earlier, I supported regulatory relations, compliance, and legal work at Barclays Africa Group Limited, and consulted for Absa Bank on a regulatory engagement management system replacement project.

I hold BCom Law and LLB degrees from the University of South Africa and bring experience across financial services, corporate governance, legal drafting, and regulator engagement.
