Before taking up her role at Moonstone Compliance, Andrea was actively involved with the Legal, Compliance and Governance functions of several industry-leading companies. She is an admitted attorney, and has obtained a BA degree in Value and Policy Studies at Stellenbosch University, completed further studies in Human Resource Management and Industrial Psychology, and obtained her LLB and LLM degrees thereafter.

Andrea believes in the value of data privacy and its relationship to trust, brand, growth, risk and compliance. For this reason, she works closely with an organisation's executive management to determine their specific privacy governance requirements and then offers customised solutions through Moonstone Compliance's Privacy Governance Department that is proportionate to the size, scale, geography and resources of their operation. This includes many POPIA related services such as assistance with policy creation and implementation, Personal Information Impact Assessments, Data Flow Mapping, bespoke facilitated training interventions, reviews and POPIA gap analyses, consultation and advice.
