Our very own Nicola Comninos, Group Chief Investment and Risk Officer at Purple Group, has just been officially appointed as the new President and Chairperson of the Institute of Risk Management South Africa (IRMSA).

Nicola is now leading the entire risk management profession in South Africa. And if you’ve ever worked with her, you already know she’ll bring the same vision, energy, and drive that power her every day at Purple Group.

Recognising Her Leadership

Nicola takes the baton from Bheki Gutshwa, who leaves behind a strong legacy at IRMSA. With her experience, influence, and passion for both investment and risk, Nicola is set to take the profession forward in bold new ways.

At Purple Group, we’ve seen her in action, navigating complexity, championing resilience, and setting the pace for what leadership in our industry should look like. Her appointment is proof of the respect she’s earned across the sector, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her step onto this stage.

A huge congratulations to Nicola on this next chapter. We’re backing her all the way as she continues to inspire, lead, and shape the future of risk management, both here at home and beyond.
