Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Pretorius is an experienced IT leader and former senior Java developer with 13+ years building and governing technology operations across Africa, Malaysia and India. He began as a COBOL/AS400 and Delphi developer, transitioned to Java and co‑founded an outsourcing firm before moving into IT management and governance roles that include setting up Sanlam’s greenfield operation in Uganda. Today he leads ISO, IT GRC and business continuity for the SanlamAllianz joint venture, focusing on cybersecurity posture, cross‑country governance rollouts and operational synergies across 27 countries. He combines hands‑on technical credibility (development, infrastructure and vendor management) with practical governance certifications and COBIT/ITIL/ISO experience to translate business risk into actionable IT control frameworks. Colleagues value his ability to build trust in challenging markets—he once doubled as marketer and IT head in a start‑up environment—so his approach blends technical rigor with pragmatic, cost‑sensitive solutions. Based in the Western Cape, he excels at aligning distributed teams and vendors to drive economies of scale while maintaining strong auditability.
