With more than 37 years of security & risk experience and executive leadership across South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and international environments, I assist organizations in strengthening governance, reducing operational risk, improving compliance, and protecting business continuity through integrated Executive Risk Assurance Solutions.
As the Managing Director of Hawk Risk Solutions (PTY) Ltd, I have spent the past 19 years in executive leadership, leading multidisciplinary security, intelligence, investigations, compliance, and high-risk operational environments. My approach extends beyond traditional security management by aligning risk assurance strategies with corporate objectives, governance frameworks, and sustainable business growth.
My expertise lies in developing intelligence-led, technology-enabled risk management strategies that provide executive leadership and Boards with measurable assurance over security, operational resilience, regulatory compliance, and organizational risk exposure.
Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered strategic leadership across:

I believe the future of the security and risk profession lies in the integration of people, governance, technology, intelligence, compliance, and data-driven decision-making. Organizations that embrace proactive risk assurance rather than reactive security measures will be best positioned to remain resilient in an increasingly complex global environment.
Through the Executive Risk Assurance Program (ERAP), my objective is to partner with Boards, CEOs, Executive Committees, and business leaders to build stronger, safer, and more resilient organizations by delivering independent assurance, strategic advice, executive reporting, compliance oversight, and continuous improvement program. Protecting organizations through intelligence, governance, assurance, and executive leadership.
I assist organizations reduce operational losses, strengthen governance, improve compliance, enhance service delivery, and protect business continuity through independent executive risk assurance.
