Former managing director at Samsung South Africa, Deon Liebenberg, has quit his post at Telkom Mobile, a spokesperson at the group has said.
Liebenberg is set to hop across to Vodacom, starting in February, a Vodacom spokesperson said, however, it is not yet clear what his new title will be.
Liebenberg served as the head of Telkom Business Mobile, and was responsible for the strategy and execution of Telkom Business’ mobile division.
Prior to joining Telkom Business, he was the MD at Samsung South Africa. Liebenberg also served as the vice president and managing director for Africa at Research In Motion (RIM), country manager at Motorola South Africa and the executive head of sales at Vodacom.
