With over 24 years of experience in ethics, anti-corruption, compliance, and legal affairs, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your team and drive excellence in ethical standards and regulatory compliance.

In my most recent role as Group Ethics Executive at Massmart/Walmart, I was responsible for leading and enhancing the company’s ethics and compliance initiatives across diverse regions. I managed a high-performing team dedicated to upholding organizational values and fostered a culture of integrity and accountability. My role involved strategizing and directing the ethics program, managing complex investigations, and developing impactful training programs. These efforts were pivotal in aligning the ethics program with company objectives and ensuring swift, decisive outcomes for various ethical challenges.

Prior to this, as Executive Head of Anti-Corruption Compliance, Sanctions, and Trade Controls at Vodacom, I crafted and executed anti-bribery strategies tailored to multiple markets, conducted comprehensive risk assessments, and facilitated training sessions to reinforce ethical standards. My role also required me to oversee compliance with stringent regulations and provide expert counsel to executive leadership, ensuring adherence to anti-bribery policies and mitigating associated risks.

At Daimler AG, where I served as Head of Legal: Anti-Bribery Compliance and Integrity, I led global anti-bribery compliance efforts and advised senior management on legal and compliance matters. My responsibilities included managing investigations into anti-bribery violations, developing compliance strategies, and training employees on anti-bribery policies. My proactive approach and strategic insights were essential in maintaining high standards of ethical conduct across the organization.

My educational background further supports my qualifications for this role. I completed an Advanced Executive Program at GIBS University in 2017, which complemented my Telecoms Mini MBA from the University of Derby in 2015. I also hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Compliance from the University of Johannesburg (2010) and was admitted as an Attorney by the Pietermaritzburg High Court in 2000. My foundational legal education includes an LLB and BA Law from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), obtained in 1995 and 1993, respectively.

I am eager to bring my extensive experience and passion for fostering a culture of integrity to your organization and contribute to your continued success. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background, skills, and experiences align with the needs of your team. 

With 24 years of experience as a Group Ethics Executive and Anti-Corruption, compliance and legal professional, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. My educational background includes a BA in Law, an LLB, a Postgraduate in Compliance, and completion of an Advanced Executive Program. Throughout my career, I have been instrumental in formulating and implementing robust ethics, anti-corruption and compliance programs, driving integrity and compliance across organizations. I specialize in overseeing compliance initiatives, conducting thorough risk assessments, conducting proactive monitoring and response, training and awareness and providing strategic guidance to executive leadership. My passion lies in fostering cultures of integrity and accountability, ensuring unwavering regulatory compliance at all organizational levels.
