JOHANNESBURG – MTN has announced the appointment of Stephen van Coller as Vice President of Strategy and Mergers and Acquisitions, effective October 1.
Coller will be the fourth Vice President of the Group, the other three having responsibility for the geographic operating regions of MTN.
Meanwhile, Brett Goschen, the Group Chief Financial Officer, will be leaving MTN effective September 30, to pursue other interests.
Consequently, he will be resigning from the MTN Group board of directors as an executive director on the same day.
Gunter Engling will assume the position of Acting Group CFO on Goschen’s departure, until a permanent CFO is appointed.
Engling is a chartered accountant who is currently CEO of MTN Rwanda.
MTN said it was confident that the process of reviewing its capacity, resources, governance and management structures will be substantially completed by year end and would leave the Group well positioned to successfully face a highly competitive environment and take advantage of new opportunities.
