Sasol announced that it has appointed Christine Ramon (38) as executive director and chief financial officer (CFO) with effect from 1 May 2006.
Ramon will be a member of both the Sasol Limited board and the group executive committee and will be appointed as a director of various group companies and divisions. “We are delighted Christine is joining us and welcome her on board at a most exciting time for Sasol, both in South Africa and internationally,” says Sasol deputy chief executive Trevor Munday.
This comes less than two weeks after Sasol announced that Dr Benny Mokaba (44) would also join as an executive director with effect from 1 May 2006. Dr Mokaba – who has had a highly successful career spanning industry, academia and government – will assume responsibility for Sasol's energy businesses in South Africa, including Sasol's synfuels, mining, Secunda shared services, gas, and liquid fuels businesses.
“We promised to bring new black leaders into the upper structures of Sasol. In line with our commitment to transformation and creating a world-class company, Sasol will now have a diverse board with extensive local and international experience,” says Sasol CE Pat Davies.
“Trevor Munday will be relinquishing his responsibility as chief financial officer (CFO) in the light of his new role as deputy chief executive. Christine Ramon will report to Trevor and will be able to draw on the considerable experience and expertise he has gained during the very successful tenure he has had as the Group's CFO,” adds Davies.
