A state of grace Celebrating the role of women in the Banking Association South Africa. 70 BANKER SA Beverley Reyneke’s motto in life is “Velle Est Posse: where there is a will, there is a way”, and this is certainly true of her professional life. Having joined The Banking Association South Africa in 2005, Beverley began her career as a minute-taker and later appointed as HR manager. Today she is the Head of Shared Services and responsible for HR, IT, finance, admin and maintenance, overseeing a team of 10. Her journey is an inspiration to all women and reveals what an abundance of dedication, passion, commitment and a whole lot of hard work can achieve. She also credits some of her success to a powerful sixth sense, and says this and her belief in positive affirmations seldom let her down. What makes Beverley such a breath of fresh air is that despite her success, she also strongly believes in a balance in life and work, ‘I constantly remind myself that we should not just focus on making a living but also need to live.’ Edition 6 Subbed Banker SA 6 Lifestyle article.indd 70 2013/07/18 3:55 PM
