BPSA APPOINTS TAELO MOJAPELO AS ITS NEW CE

BP SOUTHERN Africa (BPSA) announced the appointed Taelo Mojapelo (pictured) as its new chief executive. Mojapelo stepped into the role on yesterday, as Priscillah Mabelane elected to leave BP to pursue another opportunity, the company said. “BPSA has made great progress in transforming our business into a market-leading fuel and convenience retailer in South Africa, and we are confident that Taelo’s strong leadership and proven fast-moving consumer goods operational experience will help us build on this momentum,” said BPSA board chairperson, Thandi Orleyn, adding that Mojapelo would reinforce the group’s steady focus on being a customer-centric, innovative and digitally driven business that meets the ever-growing needs of South Africans. “On behalf of the BPSA board and the entire business, I would also like to thank Priscillah Mabelane for her outstanding contribution to the organisation over the past nine years, including the past three years as chief executive,” added Orleyn. Mojapelo joined BPSA in April as head of commercial optimisation and supply for southern Africa. Previously, she worked at Mondelez as supply chain director and held senior leadership supply chain roles in companies in various companies.
