They say it takes 10 to 11 years for one to make partner. Considering that they have always known this, 50% black ownership should have not been an issue. South African universities produce more black graduates and the firms themselves typically recruit more black junior staff.

perception is everything at work 🤞🏾

This case is so fascinating. So what happens to the PoC employees inside these firms? I am intrigued.

may our biceps get bigger and our shoulders get wider.

CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER APPOINTMENT | Absa Palesa Ntoagae has been appointed Chief People Officer: Personal and Private Banking Pan-Africa at Absa Group. She joins Absa from Old Mutual Insure, where she served as Executive: Human Capital and Facilities Management, with responsibility for the organisation’s people agenda and facilities portfolio. In an environment where talent, culture and leadership depth have become decisive levers of competitive advantage, the appointment of a Human Capital executive with Ntoagae’s institutional range is far from incidental. Having led the Human Resources function of the JSE, Africa’s leading stock exchange, and built a career across major institutions including Old Mutual Insure, Standard Bank Group, Deloitte and KPMG South Africa, she brings the kind of cross-sector people leadership experience that signals a deliberate strengthening of institutional capability. Notably, Ntoagae previously spent close to nine years at Standard Bank Group, where she held a succession of senior Human Capital leadership roles across key business functions, including People and Culture Lead: Southern Region, Head of Human Capital: Personal and Business Banking, Africa Regions, Business Partner: Human Capital, Customer Channels Gauteng Province, and HR Business Partner for Group Card and Emerging Payments. Ntoagae holds a Bachelor of Commerce in Management and Commercial Law from Rhodes University, a Postgraduate Management Diploma from GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science), and completed MBA Essentials through the The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Beyond a distinguished career leading what remains every institution’s most consequential resource, its people, Ntoagae is a Strategic African Women In Leadership (SAWIL) Trailblazers Award recipient and a CHRO South Africa Awards nominee, affirming her standing as an HR Executive with the institutional range, sector fluency and leadership depth required for a mandate of this scale. She is also a Mount Kilimanjaro summiteer, a personal milestone that speaks to the discipline, resilience and resolve that have shaped her leadership journey. Congratulations are in order! #AskAsanteOnBoards

There’s no shareholder value getting maximised this week. Everything is next week’s problem. Regards

I can’t believe they let me wear this in the gym

People get so offended when you’re a quiet person lmao

Corporate is performance art. You push a document on time, flag risks in writing & in meetings. It gets ignored. 2 weeks later the exact risk materializes, everyone rushes to sign, then starts harassing you & it’s now your emergency. Somehow you should have warned louder.
