With over 40 years of banking and IT experience, 33 of which were with a major South African bank, I have had extensive exposure to banking practice and banking operations in South Africa, Israel, the USA, Europe and Australia> This includes the role of advisor to a number of central banks on payment system, payments policy and payments risk issues and as a payment systems consultant to a global payments software developer.
My experience includes an industry level role in South Africa during the 1990s where I held several key positions which included that of Chairman: Risk Committee – Payments Association of South Africa and the Vice Chairman – ERAG (Electronic Risk Assessment) Group – Clearing Bankers Association. I also served as a Board Member of the Bankserv Electronic Funds Clearing Services (Johannesburg, South Africa) and a Member of Strategy Team of the South African Reserve Bank’s “National Payments System Steering Group” that led to the development of the South African RTGS system.
Today I am a Principal Associate in Citadel Advantage Ltd. I have a Masters degree in Economics and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. I enjoy writing.
