TimesLIVE reports that Eskom has appointed the first four of seven new executives to address its business challenges and to deliver strategic initiatives to enable growth and long-term sustainability.
The new appointees will take up their posts on 1 November. They are corporate services executive Portia Mngomezulu, strategy and sustainability executive Nontokozo Hadebe, group capital executive Roman Crookes and chief information and technology officer Len de Villiers. “Eskom recognised that it needs to bring in new skills at the executive level to guide its teams so [they] can execute strategic initiatives in a competitive market faster, more efficiently and in areas which are new to the utility,” said Eskom CEO Dan Marokane. Noting that in in just five months Eskom had filled critical positions, he added: “It is our intention to remain a critical player in South Africa’s evolving future energy market, and we will move at pace to recover lost ground.” Mngomezulu is a corporate services executive with more than 28 years of experience, including more than a decade in senior leadership roles in the public sector. Hadebe has 23 years’ experience in strategy development, corporate planning, performance management and strategic initiatives management. Crookes will bring more than 23 years of experience in the power industry. De Villiers, who has been appointed on a three-year contract, has more than 40 years of experience in IT.
