Risper epitomises excellence, exemplified by her remarkable journey. At just 32, she was chosen to lead Absa’s audit function, and she has continued to thrive, transitioning from audit to her current role as CFO.

From her conversation, four key insights stand out:

  • Be strategic in your career – Success often hinges on intentional planning.
  • A supportive partner matters – Having a strong support system can make a significant difference.
  • Reputation is crucial – Being on a board is like being in a marriage. No one wants to be in a tumultuous relationship.
  • Authenticity wins – Staying true to yourself is always the best approach.
