Telkom confirms Telkom Mobile’s new management structure
MyBroadband BusinessTech yesterday reported that Telkom is searching for a new Telkom Mobile Managing Director.
At the time Telkom was not willing to comment on the issue, saying that they will not be in a position to give feedback until Telkom has completed all the administrative and corporate steps required of them, including informing their employees.
The company has now confirmed the report, saying that it has embarked on a recruitment process to appoint a managing director that will be an Exco member of the Telkom Group.
“It is of great importance that we keep the momentum going. In fact, delivery on our mobile investment features very high on the corporate agenda. It is an appropriate time to reconfigure the Telkom Mobile top leadership team,” said Telkom Group CEO, Nombulelo (Pinky) Moholi.
Until the Telkom Mobile MD appointment has been made, the Telkom Mobile executive team will report to the Chief Financial Officer, Jacques Schindehütte.
Amith Maharaj will continue to head up Telkom Mobile Operations. His position has been upgraded to that of Senior Managing Executive (SME).
“This is in recognition of the sterling work he has done to bring Telkom Mobile to where it is today. I would like to congratulate Amith on a position well deserved,” said Moholi.
In his role as SME: Telkom Mobile Operations, Amith will be responsible for Mobile IT and Networks as well as Mobile Marketing, including product development, the go-to-market strategy and convergence services.
