Sewpersad joins RMB from Old Mutual Insure, bringing 20 years of experience in human capital across industries including retail, legal, insurance, banking and technology. Her passion lies in enabling people to unleash their talent in order to move an organisation forward.
One’s identity, passion and purpose are intertwined, and leveraging off this in a mutually beneficial way can be hugely rewarding to RMB.
Said Sewpersad: “With a war on talent, this means, now more than ever, businesses need to be people-centric and hone in on the power of diversity across the human-capital value chain.
“I am beyond excited to join RMB which has always had talent as its key differentiator. I am looking forward to playing a part in creating an environment and culture in which RMB’s people can grow, thrive, and have a meaningful impact both personally and professionally.”
