ASISA announces appointment of acting CEO

06 February 2024 | Compliance - Regulatory | Association for Savings & Investment SA (ASISA) | Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (ASISA)

The Board of Directors of the Association for Savings and Investment South Africa (ASISA) has appointed Adrian Burke as acting CEO of ASISA. This follows the departure of Busisa Jiya on 31 December 2023.

“The ASISA Board is prioritising the recruitment of a new CEO, but we expect that finding the candidate may take a couple of months,” says Anton Pillay, chairman of ASISA. “We have therefore decided to appoint an acting CEO until a permanent appointment can be made.”

Burke, a Fellow of the Actuarial Society of South Africa, retired from Old Mutual in November 2020, concluding a nearly 40-year career in the South African long-term insurance industry. He continues to serve on the Board of Old Mutual Botswana and is a Trustee of the Old Mutual Foundation.
