About The CEO

During his term as Director: Court Management at the esteemed Constitutional Court of South Africa, Mr Misser was responsible for putting into place systems, procedures, and processes to ensure that the Constitutional Court operates optimally from the administration to the judiciary itself. Thereafter he served as Director: Court Management of the largest court in South Africa, the Johannesburg Magistrates Court. He was specifically headhunted for this position to lead this Court and ensure that proper management was put in place to advance court access and efficiency and make the institution more user friendly and accessible to the citizens of our country. His span of responsibility was to oversee approximately 900 staff, at the Johannesburg Court House. He successfully turned around the Johannesburg Magistrates Court and this attests to his grasp of management issues and his ability to lead large and complex organizations. He has a multidisciplinary approach to work and can harness diverse skill types and expertise to advance effective solutions.

He is familiar with the discipline of evaluation and opted as his Master’s Degree dissertation to produce a study on “The role and impact of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of financial management on promoting service delivery at the Constitutional Court”. This original and timely study was acknowledged as pivotal to the improvement of the Constitutional Court and its recommendations have been implemented, producing a more effective court system. For his dissertation, he engaged with the Public Service Commission and various other Government Departments within South Africa to learn and advance the evaluation practice within his work sphere. As such, he has a sound knowledge of the imperatives of good governance and is well versed in oversight policy and practice. 

Attesting to his expertise within the Judiciary is a career of exemplary performance assessments, both as a strategic manager in various roles – investigator, court manager, policy advisor, secretariat responsibilities and curriculum developer. Mr Misser has worked with the highest echelons of the country, with direct reporting to the Chief Justice including the Justices of the Constitutional Court, Director General, Ministry, and other professionals nationally. He is active in community affairs and pursues a passion for music and philanthropic work.
