SHAZIA MOOLA
Partner
Deloitte
Shazia Moola joined Deloitte Africa in 2004 fresh out of school. After nine short years of immense contribution to the Deloitte Africa firm, she was admitted to the Deloitte Partnership. Shortly thereafter, she was appointed as a member of the Deloitte Women in Leadership Committee. The goal of this committee was to reach 45% female ownership of the Deloitte Africa firm by 2020. Through research and various initiatives conducted in response to this, she and the committee were able to achieve this mighty goal they set themselves.
During January of 2022, Moola was admitted directly to the Deloitte US partnership and is based out of the LA office. She hit the ground running – writing her CPA exam a day after arriving in the US. She was signing public opinions soon after, but more admirably, she very quickly sought out ways in which to contribute to broader society, which is where her passion lies. In South Africa, Moola sat on two outside NGO boards – a school governing board where she was also a member of the finance committee; and as a board member of an HIV aid organization.
Moola was appointed to the board of Girls Inc of LA during August 2022. Very soon after she was asked to join the finance committee, she then assumed the role of chair of the newly-formed Audit Committee. Not even a year later, as a result of her valuable insight and active contribution, she was asked to assume the role of vice chair to this notable organization.
