Chief Executive Officer

"For many years we have been battling the effects of the corruption scandals, unprofitable legacy contracts, inefficient corporate structures, huge debt burdens and a highly inefficient capital structure. Following our successful R600 million capital raise last year and the recent closure of our last major legacy issue, EOH can now get back to business and focus on our Growth-Efficiency-Talent strategy. I am confident as I step down the team taking up the baton, who have all been part of the senior leadership for the past five years, will ensure the transition is seamless."
