I graduated from the University of Stellenbosch with a B Agric degree in Agricultural Economics and have been involved in agricultural finance since 1991. I currently lead a team of 13 agricultural specialists. This team supports our regional teams all over the country, and provides expert guidance to all agriculture-related requests, ensuring continuity, accessibility, and quick decision-making.
The 2025 UN Climate Change Conference, taking place this month in Brazil, will highlight the role of agriculture in combatting climate change, as it becomes increasingly clear that the sector is not only vulnerable to climate change but is also one of the most powerful levers we have to address it.
