WIE Speaker

Tina Angelos is the dynamic Managing Director of Allied Valve Specialists (AVS), a trailblazer in South Africa’s industrial sector. Fondly known to her team as “Kaptein,” Tina is redefining what it means to lead with purpose, blending business strategy with human-centered impact to drive innovation and inclusivity in one of the most traditionally rigid industries.
Under her leadership, AVS has evolved into more than a valve supplier — it’s a movement. With a cradle-to-grave, service-led culture and a heartbeat grounded in CARE, PRIDE, and TRUST, Tina has created an organisation that sees valves not just as products, but as the lifeblood of vital operations — symbolic of strength, flow, and sustainability. As she puts it, “Just as the valves in our hearts keep life moving, AVS valves ensure the safe, sustainable function of plants that serve 62 million South Africans.”

A passionate advocate for safe and inclusive workspaces, Tina draws from her expertise in addressing Gender-Based Violence (GBV) to establish workplace policies that prioritise dignity, accountability, and empowerment. She brings heart into the art of leadership — ensuring that every team member feels valued, heard, and safe.

Tina’s bold vision is anchored in sustainability as humanity. She’s a vocal proponent of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption & Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). Through AVS’s collaborations with organisations like the Cape Chamber of Commerce, JustZero, and the South African government-led Voluntary National Review, Tina champions systemic change through collective action.

Her influence extends across industry platforms including the Standard Bank Top Women Awards, Enlit Africa, and most recently, the Business Day TV “Bridging the Gap” sustainability docuseries — where her story as a purpose-driven leader takes center stage.

Through courageous leadership, sharp business acumen, and a deeply empathetic worldview, Tina Angelos is pioneering a new standard in industrial leadership — one where innovation thrives, partnerships matter, and people always come first.
