What I'm looking for

I'm looking to bring my enterprise risk, governance, combined assurance and Board advisory experience to an organisation where practical, technology-enabled risk management supports better decisions, resilience and sustainable growth.

At Absa Financial Services, I lead enterprise risk management, risk governance and combined assurance across insurance, investment, advice and stockbroking businesses. I strengthen risk frameworks, risk appetite, ORSA, Board reporting and enterprise-wide assurance to support better decisions and sustainable growth.

My experience spans Absa, Nedbank, Sasfin, Trustco and the Institute of Internal Auditors, across risk, internal audit, compliance and governance. I simplify complexity through practical controls, automation and commercially focused risk solutions.
