“I am very excited to bring my skills, my solid network base and my passion for the financial and economic sector to this exciting portfolio. I’d like to thank Dr Survé and the executives of Independent Media for the opportunity and look forward to making a meaningful contribution to the growth of the company,” De Wet said.
