Tendi Nyathi, chief risk and governance officer at Ozow.
South African payments company Ozow has appointed Tendi Nyathi as chief risk and governance officer, effective 1 April.
Nyathi moves from her current role as chief legal officer into the newly created position, which consolidates governance, risk and legal functions under a single leadership role.
“Regulation is evolving to focus less on what an institution is and more on the activities it performs. That shift requires a much more integrated and strategic approach to risk and governance,” says Nyathi.
Nyathi has been with the company for more than nine years and has played a key role in the company’s growth, including its Series B funding round, regulatory engagement and the establishment of governance and risk frameworks, says Ozow.
In her new role, she will oversee enterprise-wide risk management, governance processes and regulatory alignment, while continuing to lead the legal function.
