Ruvimbo is passionate about solving real-world problems within corporations that drive growth. Previously, she was the general manager overseeing a portfolio of life insurers in six Southern African countries. She spent three years identifying constraints to business growth and oversaw the formulation and implementation of strategy and solutions. Her work saw growth within her portfolio, and the recovery of loss by turning entities into profitable units. Ruvimbo is an actuary and has also worked as a statutory pension fund valuator. She has consulted on projects ranging from de-risking the balance sheet of a bank in Mozambique, to providing technical actuarial services to a statutory organ of state.
