Ilan Zwarenstein, who has been Group Finance Executive since 2006, will assume the role of Financial Director, and will be appointed to the Board and the Massmart Executive Committee. He will relinquish the role of Company Secretary. He joined Massmart in 2005.
CEO Grant Pattison will focus on Massmart-Walmart's strategic growth priorities for SA and Africa, including the implementation of the group's Retail Food strategy.
