Andy Wilson

Digital Innovation Executive – PwC Africa Digital lead.

I lead the Digital Transformation and Financial Services Technology Consulting businesses for PwC in South Africa, and lead the PwC Experience Centres and associated offerings in Africa. These are at the heart of driving innovation and disruption across industries. My deep understanding of the critical link between established and emerging disruptive technologies, strategic agility methodologies and the shaping of business strategies, enables me to deliver significant value and differentiated experiences for my clients.

I began my career in the engineering field, subsequently working in management consulting, software sectors and in industry, with broad experience across the consulting value chain. Roles ranged from strategy to execution, building a reputation of delivering innovation and getting the right things done.

I’ve led large teams of high achievers globally, across many diverse geographies and cultures which has given me unique insights into a wide range of industries. My primary experience however, lies in the Financial Services space.

Prior to my current role at PwC, I led the delivery of a Group Digital Strategy at Standard Bank Group. This included the design, development and delivery of digital platforms, smart apps and web offerings in the consumer and enterprise space. This gave me significant experience in setting up greenfields digital product businesses within a large enterprise, building technology platforms, using Devops methodologies as well as transitioning to an agile organisation.

I founded a Digital Academy at Standard Bank which specifically focused on building digital skills in Africa. It is an ongoing success and am proud of this.

Prior to this, I spent six years at SAP leading an international team of professionals pioneering the critical discipline of Value Management in the EMEA region.

I live in Johannesburg, am married to Anne and we have four children. I love most sports and am an active cyclist and kayak fisherman.
