NATIONAL NEWS - South African Airways (SAA) has announced a number of key appointments, including a new chief financial officer (CFO), to fill the critical skills gap at the troubled airline as it forges ahead with implementing its turnaround strategy.
Bob Head has been appointed interim chief financial officer, effective from yesterday. SAA said that Head has extensive management experience in different senior management roles both locally and internationally.
Head is a specialist in turning businesses around and resolving business problems, and is also a former chief executive of a number of companies, and finance and group human resources director.
This comes after SAA last month suspended CFO Phumeza Nhantsi and former chief executive Musa Zwane following unspecified allegations made against them in a forensic probe of the state-owned airline.
