Electricity and automation company Schneider Electric has appointed Ziphozihle Wonci as its CFO for Anglophone Africa.

With over 18 years of experience in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, Schneider says Wonci brings a wealth of expertise in finance, internal controls, audits, and, most notably, commercial finance disciplines to Schneider Electric. 

She has held key leadership roles at various multinational organisations, including serving as FD at Galderma South Africa (formerly Nestlé Health), FD at Mondelez International for Southern Africa, and most recently, CFO at Kimberly-Clark for over four years, overseeing financial strategy across Southern Africa.

Schneider says Wonci’s appointment marks an exciting transition into the energy and automation sector.

“She is committed to understanding Schneider Electric’s business model, products and go-to-market strategy, ensuring she functions as a strategic business partner to the cluster president,” the company notes.

“My priority is to learn the business, understand our customers, and contribute to Schneider Electric’s continued financial strength. I see finance as more than just managing the profit and loss and balance sheet; it’s about understanding the key drivers of the business and what makes it thrive,” says Wonci.

As CFO for Anglophone Africa, she will focus on maintaining Schneider Electric’s solid financial performance, driving sustainable growth and supporting the company’s broader business objectives in the region.
