With over 11 years of progressive experience in risk management, internal auditing, compliance, and data protection—currently serving as both Risk & Compliance Manager and Data Protection Manager for my region (South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique)
Throughout my career, I’ve been entrusted to lead cross-functional risk and control initiatives, streamline frameworks, and embed a culture of compliance and resilience across multiple business units. At my current employer, I developed and implemented enterprise-wide risk assessments, strengthened key controls, and played a lead role in business continuity planning. As the regional Data Protection Manager, I also oversee data privacy compliance under GDPR and regional laws - work that earned me a Global Gold award for Data Protection Excellence.
Key highlights I bring to this role include:
- Leadership & collaboration: I lead with integrity and clarity, fostering high-performing teams and working closely with senior stakeholders across audit, legal, IT, and operations.
- Operational risk mastery: I have hands-on experience conducting tactical risk assessments, managing incidents, testing controls, and ensuring compliance with ICAAP, data protection, and cybersecurity standards.
- Controls & compliance expertise: My background in internal audit gives me a detailed lens for identifying gaps and implementing fit-for-purpose mitigation strategies across complex environments.
- Business continuity and resilience: I’ve led the development of business continuity frameworks and recovery testing programs—ensuring readiness for operational disruptions and alignment with regulatory expectations.
