Michelle Anderson, head of Strategy: Information Technology Office at Absa, juggles several different roles and her commitment to ongoing professional development. Anderson interprets group and business strategy from within the lens of technology security. She thinks about data and how it can be leveraged to enable the group and drive business strategy. She also looks at ways in which technology and data can intelligently add value to the business.

“My job is to ensure that I articulate our strategy while taking technology advancements, startup investments and fintech innovations into account,” she says. “I have to unpack what these evolutions mean for technology and the business, and then look at how these can potentially align to our KPIs and how we deliver to our customers.”
