About me

I’m Dawie, a Chartered Accountant (CA(SA)) with over 20 years of commercial and executive leadership experience, including serving as CEO of a leading non-life insurance company. While I’ve recently expanded into the field of data science, my CA qualification remains a cornerstone of the value I offer. It provides a strong foundation in business, finance, and regulation, which I now apply to solving data-driven challenges. I thrive at the intersection of business strategy and data, where I translate complex business needs into practical, high-impact data initiatives that drive measurable results.
