About

CEO and founder of MP Consulting Services, CFO of Flexible Recovery Group and a Murex Analyst at Kion. Associate Member of Actuarial Society of South Africa. I also hold the designation of Ordinary Member of the Institute of Directors in South Africa and holder of a Debt Collectors Certificate. I also sat as the Student Representative on the Council of the Actuarial Society of South Africa in 2024/2025. I'm very open and receptive to discussion on matters related to the profession, particularly the student membership. I also have a unique interest in Governance and Legislation. I'm currently working on my F series exams. Given my Masters topic, I will likely do F108 (which complements my pensions background). My general philosophy in life is that I have been granted unique skills that others may not have. So my goal is to share my knowledge with others to help them make better decisions and also to add value to society. I'm a very friendly person and enjoy interacting with others. I'm very driven and always open to learn and receive guidance from others.
