Dilip Kalyan Email & Phone Number

Since qualifying as a CA(SA) at Deloitte, I have amassed extensive experience in a number of industries, from clothing and textiles (where I started my career at SA Clothing Industries, part of the listed Seardel Group), to auditing, industrials, retail, manufacturing and NPOs. Positions are held were Group Financial Director , Financial Director - Southern Africa and Chief Financial Officer.Thereafter, I spent time nurturing private ventures, which allowed me to hone my general management skills and gain insight into more industries. Involved in all operations, I enhanced my overall understanding of business.I joined the Africa Health Research Institute (previously K-RITH) as CFO. There I set up effective, fit for purpose, financial systems, policies, procedures and trained the finance teams to implement these which resulted in the organisation being financially well managed, healthy and strong. The organisation grew five times to become an internationally recognised and funded research institute. I played a key role in the merger between K-RITH and Africa Centre, which culminated in the organisation’s current guise. Further highlights during this time include the creation and implementation of a risk management programme, and the initiation of a MDP programme, both of which received wide support from within the organisation.My skill has been developed through experience in matters related to Board, Audit and Risk Committees. I'm a strategic thinker and a team player with a talent for mentoring and motivating others. I believe I have a strong commercial sense and am a good communicator and listener. Adept at applying best practices and governance models, I am an independent non-executive Director, a member of audit and risk committees and a consultant as well as a Fellow of the Institute of Directors of South Africa.I have a wide array of interests from sports to swimming, yoga, reading and sketching to gardening.

Listed skills include Financial Reporting, Managerial Finance, Consulting, Cash Flow, and 2 others.
