Reunert has appointed Mark Kathan as CFO following the retirement of Nick Thomson.
Kathan will join Reunert on March 1 and will assume the role of group CFO and executive director on April 1. Thomson’s retirement was announced in November.
Kathan is a qualified chartered accountant (SA) with an advanced management programme certificate from Harvard Business School.
He was the CFO of AECI between 2008 and 2022, and an AECI board member from 2008 to 2023. Before joining AECI, he served in several senior financial roles at Nampak.
Reunert said that Thomson would retire as group CFO at the end of March and from the board at the end of September. During this period, he would support Kathan in his new role and assist with the execution of various projects.
The board thanked him for making himself available to ensure a smooth succession process.
“Reunert benefited greatly from Nick’s extensive financial and commercial experience, insightful leadership, and his commitment to the group. During his tenure, Nick has been instrumental to the group, successfully delivering on its strategic and operational objectives,” the board said.
