Johannesburg - SABMiller is reorganising management at its South African unit following the resignation of strategy chief Yolanda Cuba.
Cuba will leave at the end of October to pursue new career opportunities and will become a non-executive director at SAB’s local unit, Johannesburg-based South African Breweries said in an e-mailed response to questions.
Andrea Quaye has been named marketing director, while former human resources director Yokesh Maharaj will become director of sales and distribution, according to the e-mail.
Khaya Ngcwembe will become the company’s human resources director and Monwabisi Fandeso, previously chairman of SAB’s Appletiser soft-drink brand, will be corporate affairs director.
SABMiller, founded more than a century ago in South Africa, has the largest exposure to emerging markets of the major beermakers.
That has helped the London-based company offset tough conditions in the US, where its MillerCoors joint venture operates, and Europe over the last few years. - Bloomberg News
