Willie Pienaar, Group CE
Although Willie has extensive experience in the formal legal sphere, he considers himself a ‘reformed lawyer’. While working as an advocate in Cape Town, Willie witnessed first-hand the shortcomings of traditional legal practice. Driven by his desire to transform legal services, as well as his entrepreneurial spirit, Willie has led many initiatives introducing effective and efficient ADR programs.
A practicing mediator and arbitrator, Willie worked closely with the insurance cluster to pioneer a new way of settling insurer disputes which has seen significant gains in both efficiency and efficacy for the organisations.
Willie is passionate about the use of IT as an enabler and was a founder of NuvaLaw. He sees his role as CE as an opportunity to put his experience in ADR, his love of innovation, and a desire for access to justice to good use – for both companies and the consumer unlocking the potential of the digital economy.
When he is not working he loves running and walking his dogs and spending quality time with his family and friends.
