Samsung Electronics SA has appointed Matthew Thackrah to the newly created position of deputy MD, just weeks after the sudden resignation of MD Deon Liebenberg, who left the Korean consumer electronics giant to take the reins at Telkom Business Mobile.
Thackrah, who has been with Samsung for a decade, will continue in his current role as head of consumer electronics and IT solutions.
According to the company, Thackrah’s expertise is in strategy implementation as well as forecasting and retail management.
“I will continue to focus on developing the broader consumer electronics market locally and across Africa,” Thackrah says in a statement. — (c) 2012 NewsCentral Media
