Peermont announces changes
Peermont Hotels Casinos and Resorts welcomed Nigel Atherton as the new group CEO and Thabo Mokoena as the new deputy CEO.
The announcement was made on September 22 and became effective on October 1.
“This is a great privilege and an honour for me to take up this appointment and lead Peermont to new heights,” Atherton said.
“I will be leading an excellent team of people who have produced industry-leading margins over the years.”
Atherton was previously joint acting CEO and Emperors Palace complex operations executive.
Mokoena was previously the joint acting CEO and development executive of the group.
The appointments follow former CEO, Anthony Puttergill’s departure earlier this year.
Puttergill currently serves as non-executive chairperson of Peermont.
Atherton is a qualified chartered accountant who, prior to joining Peermont, worked for KPMG as an auditor and has retail property experience.
After joining in 1999 as an accountant, he has held several positions and has served as Emperors Palace complex operations executive, Peermont’s flagship casino resort since April 2013.
Mokoena joined the group when Peermont acquired Tusk Resorts in 2006.
He has since served as regional chief operating officer, and most recently as group development executive.
