Succession plan rolled out at Curro
CURRO Holdings, the Jse-listed independent school group, informed its shareholders on Tuesday that it has appointed its group financial manager, Burtie September, to succeed Cobus Loubser as the chief financial officer of Curro.
In a statement, the group said the appointment is effective as from January 1, 2023, and Loubser would assume his role as an executive director on the same date. Loubser would be stepping down as CFO to assume the role of chief executive officer.
Curro said September is a chartered accountant who completed his South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) articles at Deloitte, Cape Town, before joining Deloitte’s office at Indianapolis in the USA on a secondment.
“He worked at South African Breweries as a management accountant at one of its largest distribution centres in South Africa before he was employed as a Senior Accountant at Woolworths Financial Services for more than two years. He joined Curro in July 2016 as its group financial manager,” the group said. The company said it confirmed that the appointment was made in accordance with the Board nomination policy.
“The board welcomes September to the role of CFO and looks forward to his continued and valuable contributions to the company,” it said.
