Adriaan joined IOR in 2026, bringing with him a career built on transforming complex, multi-billion dollar businesses through disciplined financial leadership, operational rigour, and a genuine instinct for value creation. A Chartered Accountant with extensive international experience across manufacturing and mining, including successfully delivering a $1 billion improvement program at Anglo American, Adriaan is equally at home managing major M&A activity, driving enterprise-wide ERP implementations, and building the governance frameworks that underpin long-term trust.
What sets Adriaan apart is his belief that financial leadership is ultimately a service to others: to the teams who need clear direction, the stakeholders who need confidence, and the customers whose experience is strengthened by a well-run, financially sound business. A values-driven leader, he is known for partnering closely with people at every level, fostering two-way relationships, and delivering sustainable improvement that sticks. His arrival strengthens IOR’s already deep bench of expertise and reinforces the business’s commitment to building a resilient future for the customers and communities it serves.
