Sanlam has transformed itself from a South African life insurance company to a fully diversified pan-African financial services group with a global footprint and focus in emerging markets, especially in Africa.

In recent years the business has successfully expanded, with an extensive African footprint in more than 30 countries on the continent. We offer financial services in five focused expertise areas: Insurance, Financial Planning, Retirement, Investments and Wealth.

We take leadership seriously and commit to continuously nurture and grow leaders at all levels of the business. It is not left to chance. Leadership development and succession management are integral to our talent management strategy. We work hard at developing a strong pipeline of internal leaders who are equipped to advance when opportunities present themselves.

The annual CEO Future Leaders and Senior Leaders Conferences create networking opportunities for selected employees to connect with colleagues from across the business clusters and across the globe.

Our core leadership development programmes, driven at Group level, are:

• Executive Leadership Programme in partnership with the Gordon Institute of Business Science;
