Yolandi Moodley’s Background 

 

At the University of Johannesburg, Yolandi Moodley studied a BCom in IT Management and completed her Honours Degree in Informatics. With exposure to both the business and technical sides of her field, Yolandi discovered that she has more of an interest in the business, management and governance sector.   

Yolandi Moodley started her professional career at KPMG after being head hunted by a talent scout who felt that she would be a good fit for the company. She went on to spend four years at KPMG in the information protection, business resilience and information security service line. As a member of the IT advisory department at KPMG, Yolandi Moodley started to get a feel for the consulting side of her industry as she worked with clients, selling information security services.  

As her role pivoted in KPMG, she moved into the internal information security department. Here she was given the opportunity to conduct information security assessments and set-up processes in countries such as Malawi, Namibia and Mauritius.   

After her time at KPMG, Yolandi Moodley moved briefly to PWC as an Information Security and Privacy Manager before she heard about Mobius Consulting through a friend. Today, Yolandi has been working with Mobius Consulting for just over 6 years.
