MTN Group appoints new CEO
FAIRLAND – Mteto Nyati is appointed as the new MTN SA CEO.
MTN Group has announced the appointment of Mteto Nyati as the new MTN SA CEO on 16 July.
Nyati succeeds Ahmad Farroukh, who resigned earlier this month.
Farroukh’s resignation came during MTN’s weeks-long strike led by the Communication Workers Union (CWU).
The newly appointed CEO, who is a seasoned Information and Communication Technology (ICT) executive and business leader, joined MTN as group chief enterprise officer in October last year.
According to Sifiso Dabengwa, MTN group president and CEO, Nyati brings extensive knowledge of the local ICT market.
“He is passionate about people and customer service,” said Dabengwe.
He added, “We believe the appointment of a leader of Nyati’s calibre and competencies, will greatly enhance our efforts to strengthen the confidence of our customers and reinvigorate our people.
“In his role as group chief enterprise officer, Nyati has been responsible for leveraging the Group’s integrated ICT offerings and leading the group-wide enterprise and ICT strategy to enhance MTN’s position in the enterprise segment,” he said.
Nyati has a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Natal.
In 2004, he was named a Yale University World Fellow.
