Message

At M.Rau Consulting, I help boards and executive teams build risk capability and make faster, better-informed decisions. I design and implement tailored ERM frameworks, policies and scorecards, and advise on third-party risk, business continuity, AML and fraud oversight.

At Hollard Insurance Group, I directed group-wide operational risk, standardising frameworks and governance across business units and strengthening risk culture at senior management level. I also led and developed risk teams and senior-management reporting initiatives.

Earlier, at Standard Bank and Liberty Group, I strengthened internal controls, third-party risk and operational risk programmes. At Liberty Group, I also led the LibertyRisk Academy, a risk capability development programme.
