Pieter added that he is excited to be joining the team at a time when the company is building towards greater things.
He brings with him more than 25 years’ experience, and has worked for organisations like Touchstone Capital, Sasfin and Gold Fields. Most recently he led the finance team at Taung Gold as its CFO.
