This is an unranked list of 25 influential and impactful CEOs in South Africa who have been described as leaders who are “at the forefront of driving innovation, achieving financial success, and contributing significantly to their industries and communities”. 

Shirley has been at the helm of the South African firm since 2019. Since then, she has successfully helped to navigate our people through a global pandemic and the ongoing business, societal and cultural shifts that have followed.

Shirley leads with purpose and always prioritises making PwC’s working environment an inclusive and diverse one.

“We are proud of Shirley’s achievement. It is not only remarkable to work with such a formidable leader, but to see her impact being recognised across the continent and globally. Providing quality leadership in today’s business landscape can be challenging, however, Shirley does this with compassion by bringing our humanity to the fore and by making our people realise their undeniable value. In doing this, she has helped to positively impact our clients and stakeholders, and position the firm for future success.”
