She joined Financial Advisory during its inception year in 2001 and has played a key role in the business’s growth.  Nisha co-created the Deloitte M&A Transaction Services business, which is a leading brand within the M&A community.  She has led M&A projects for several prominent clients over the years, including Bidvest, Mr Price Group, Tiger Brands, Pioneer Foods, RCL, Remgro, Woolworths, Mondelez, Oppenheimer Capital Partners, Dimension Data, Vodacom, Telkom, etc.  She was the lead Financial Advisory partner for Bidvest Group.

She led the Consumer Business Industry for Financial Advisory and formed part of the Global Financial Advisory Consumer Business executive council.  Nisha held other key roles which included serving on the Global M&A executive council and representing Financial Advisory on the Deloitte Women in Leadership (“DWIL”) committee. 

Nisha transformed the M&A Transaction Services business by introducing data analytics and visualisation into due diligence engagements which not only differentiated Deloitte amongst its competitors but has since expanded across various other business units with Financial Advisory. 

Her vision for Deloitte to be recognised as the leading M&A service provider led to the establishment of a M&A Value Creation Services (“M&A VCS”) business that focusses on post-merger integration and separation support, amongst others.
