Ross Van Reenen - Managing Director

Ross van Reenen has been a Business & Management Consultant for more than 25 years and consulted for top listed companies in South Africa and Europe.

After graduating his MBA degree with distinction, he was awarded an Honorary Masters Merit Award in 2006 for his ground-breaking research and study of professional rugby players; the first ever in South Africa. He was also awarded an International Honorary Doctorate in 2009 for ongoing research of professional rugby player’s career development and education.

 

In 2005/6 Ross was approached by Barclays Bank plc to head up a team (34 people) to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in all the branches (over 300) of Barclays in Africa and Middle East. All companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange had to comply with Section 404, 302 and 906 that require documentation of internal reports over financial reporting. This highly successful project set the tone for KPMG and PWC to drive this initiative further for Barclays Bank and the ABSA Group in terms of SOX compliance and governance.

Ross was also the editor of various business & educational magazines and has more than 250 academic and business articles published to date in academic journals and business magazines.

He is the holder of double Springbok colours, a silver medallist at the World Life-Saving Championships in Barcelona in 1974, received senior provincial colours in six different sports and played in 74 Currie Cup matches (including 5 finals) for Free State – a member of the winning Currie Cup team in 1976 against Western Province – 17 Currie Cup matches for Northern Transvaal; and was also selected for the SA XV against the All Blacks. He received SA Games colours for Triathlon, did the gruelling Iron Man twice (160 Km) and successfully completed 15 Argus Cycle Tours.
