Background

About Kobus Dippenaar

Enthusiastic about leading and governing digital people-centric organizations, I am a Digital Business Director and a seasoned board and advisory board member, bringing nearly a decade of expertise in working with Government, Crown, multi-national, and large private sector entities. As an executive, I have led digital business services, banking, and insurance sectors through transformative digital business strategies, delivering remarkable outcomes on initiatives ranging from $5 million to $180 million, generating billions in business benefits. With a strong alignment to te Ao Māori world view and the Treaty of Waitangi, my board-level contributions are invaluable in ensuring organizations thrive by maintaining a clear distinction between governance and management of digital change, ensuring successful investment objectives. My notable achievements include being a board member and director of a niche management consulting business in New Zealand, participation in multiple government committees, membership in the Information Security and Controls Association (Wellington), and an Advisory Board role in SRIYA DXI LLC (Chicago, USA), a global benchmark provider of innovative machine-learning-based products. As an independent assurance lead reviewer, I have been instrumental in advising boards on digital change success for large-scale programs. My commitment to professional growth is evidenced by completing the IOD (NZ) Company Directors Course and Principles of Māori Governance Course. I am eager to bring my expertise, passion, and leadership acumen to contribute effectively to a company board that governs digital change and drives organizational excellence.
