The Practice

Axiom Advisory was founded by Marshall Zvarevashe, a global Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC), and Assurance executive with more than two decades of experience leading internal audit, technology risk, and cybersecurity governance across complex multinational environments.

Throughout his career, Marshall has served as a trusted partner to Boards, Audit Committees, and executive leadership teams, most recently at ABB, where he spearheaded global initiatives in technology risk, internal controls transformation, and access governance. His core conviction is that robust, modern governance should not slow an organization down; rather, it should give leadership the clarity and confidence to move faster.

Marshall holds CISA and CISM qualifications and is actively pursuing CCEP and PCIP certifications. Through Axiom Advisory, he translates this deep enterprise experience into resilient, data-driven risk frameworks for organizations navigating today's rapidly evolving regulatory and technological landscapes.
