The chairman of Pick n Pay, Gareth Ackerman, said he was delighted to announce that Mariam Cassim was appointed as an independent non-executive director following his promise to shareholders at the 2019 AGM to review and refresh the composition of the board.
Pick ’n Pay looks forward to the contribution she will add to board debates and decisions, he said.
Mariam Cassim says her day starts ‘in much the same way as any other typical mom’ – a surprisingly down-to-earth revelation from a woman who transformed Vodacom Financial Services from a loss-making company of R88 million into a profit-making business of R1 billion within three years.
