About Cobus - General Manager

As the General Manager at CrediFlex New Zealand Limited, I leverage my industry knowledge to steer the company towards continued success. My approach is rooted in maintaining the highest standards of regulatory compliance and ethical practice. I’m committed to fostering a culture of accountability and integrity within the industry.

My journey over more than two decades in the financial services industry has been both diverse and rewarding. I began my career in South Africa, where I spent seven years working with major banks, advancing to the role of Commercial Relationship Executive. This laid the groundwork for my deep understanding of financial operations and client relationships.

On immigrating to New Zealand, I continued to build my career with roles at Westpac and Kiwibank, including Business Manager, Commercial Manager, and Asset Finance Manager. These positions allowed me to develop well-rounded expertise in managing complex financial matters, equipping me with the skills necessary to navigate the ever-changing financial landscape.

My academic background, including a Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Sales Management from the University of Cape Town and qualifications from the Institute of Bankers in South Africa, supports my practical experience. This combination of education and hands-on expertise enables me to tackle challenges with strategic insight and a strong ethical foundation.

I am passionate about spending time in nature with family and friends, and I’m always looking to improve my golf swing.
