The EOH board has named Andrew Mthembu, the current chairman, as the interim CEO of the company.
Mthembu, who previously served as a non-executive chair, will take on the role of executive chairman starting April 1, 2024. Once a new CEO is appointed, Mthembu will move back to his position as an independent non-executive chairman.
In order to support Mthembu in his executive chairman role, Andrew Marshall, who is currently an independent non-executive director, will assume the role of lead independent non-executive director from the 1st of April 2024.
This position will continue even after the appointment of a new CEO and Mthembu’s return to his previous role. EOH emphasized that Marshall’s role is crucial for maintaining effective governance at the board level. Additionally, Marialet Greeff has been officially appointed as the chief financial officer (CFO), after serving as interim CFO since November 1, 2023.
