TEBOGO RABUTHU
Chief Architect
Johannesburg,GP
Summary
My career has spanned nearly 12 years, and I have first-hand experience with technology constraints in the banking sector, as well as involvement in critical transformation projects in various South African organizations. In several operating entities, played a vital role in overcoming architectural challenges arising from Absa Bank's separation from Barclays.
I view technological challenges as an opportunity to improve the bank's approach to future-proofing the business. I've made significant contributions to Business Planning, Enterprise Architecture, Innovation, and People Change in numerous capacities. As a presenter, I've participated in several global banking and technology forums, bringing a wealth of practitioner knowledge and views.
In my five years at ABSA, I've mentored and coached 20 new graduates in various technology areas that are crucial to the bank, with the goal of them becoming future senior engineers.
Work to the highest professional standard on a regular basis and thrive when working in a team and as a leader. I'm always looking for new ways to improve technology and security.
This enables me to quickly adapt to new technology and responsibilities. As a result, I am capable of managing and delivering initiatives that benefit the company.
