Ruwayda Redfearn went from humble beginnings to the CEO of Deloitte Africa – one of the Top 4 accounting firms.
Ruwayda Redfearn, the CEO of Deloitte Africa, went from humble beginnings and struggling to pay her tuition fees to running a Top 4 accounting firm.
She was first exposed to the business world at about six years old when her parents decided to resign from their jobs as factory workers and use the little money and education they had to open their own clothing factory. The clothing factory also instilled a keen interest in fashion in Redfearn, and for a while, she thought she would grow up to become a fashion designer.
Throughout high school and university, Redfearn worked to cover her education costs, but she couldn’t afford to pay for her honours degree. She rejoined Deloitte in 2015 as the office managing partner for the KZN region, overseeing the risk advisory business for both the Eastern Cape and KZN regions.
