Jamaican digital learning company Edufocal has effected changes at the board level, starting with Kevin Donaldson, who resigned from his role as audit committee chairman effective June 18.

Donaldson’s resignation is due to personal reasons and is not related to any disagreements with the company’s operations, policies, or procedures. A grateful Edufocal Limited thanked Donaldson for his invaluable contributions during his tenure, adding that he will remain a board director.

In the meantime, EduFocal tapped Durval Williams to join its board of directors, effective June 18. Williams brings extensive audit, risk management, and finance experience to the board.

He currently serves as head of internal audit at Supreme Ventures Limited, a role he has held since 2020.

In this position, he set the strategic direction of the internal audit function, prepared and executed the annual audit plan, and collaborated with C-level executives on risk management activities.

Previously, Williams was an assistant manager of internal audit at Sagicor Group Jamaica from 2018-2020, where he assisted in audit planning, execution and reporting. He also served as an experienced accountant at KPMG Jamaica from 2013-2017, developing and executing financial audit plans across industries.

As part of his appointment, Williams, succeeding Donaldson, will assume leadership of the EduFocal board’s audit committee with immediate effect.

Williams holds a Master’s in business administration from Georgia Southwestern State University and a BSc in accounting from the University of the West Indies.

In welcoming Williams to Edufocal, board chairman Peter Levy states, “Durval is a results-oriented leader with deep expertise in audit, controls, and risk management. His experience driving operational efficiency improvements will be invaluable as we continue to enhance our governance and grow the company. We thank Kevin for his service and welcome Durval to this important role.”
