About Murray

Murray Michell has over 27 years of experience in the advisory field, most recently providing wide-ranging support and guidance to the South African Minister of Public Enterprises in his efforts to stabilise State-Owned Companies (SOCs) such as Eskom (energy) and Transnet (freight logistics and ports). He has also developed approaches to dealing with crime and corruption, which severely eroded the capacity of these entities during the period of state capture in the country.

During Murray’s diverse career, he established South Africa’s anti-money laundering framework and served as Director of the Financial Intelligence Centre. He participated in a wide range of senior government committees, led the country’s participation in the Financial Action Task Force, the Egmont Group of financial intelligence units, which he also chaired, and served on expert panels of the United Nations.

Recently, Murray provided management support to the work of the Presidential State-owned Enterprises Council (PSEC), during which he delivered a report and proposal to the President of South Africa for the establishment of a State-Owned Holding Company.
