<\/a><\/p>\nMweb is in the process of recruiting a new CEO, but the strength of its existing management team means there is no rush.<\/p>\n
Former Mweb CEO Sean Nourse joined Webafrica as CEO on 1 July after leading Mweb for the past three years.<\/p>\n
Nourse was appointed as Mweb CEO following the company\u2019s acquisition by Internet Solutions in 2017.<\/p>\n
Nourse\u2019s departure means Mweb has been without a CEO, with the general management team reporting to Dimension Data\u2019s chief strategy and go-to-market executive, Saki Missaikos.<\/p>\n
Mweb general manager for product, sales, and marketing Carolyn Holgate told MyBroadband they are in no rush to appoint a new CEO due to the seniority of the existing Mweb team.<\/p>\n
It is expected that the new Mweb CEO will continue to report to Missaikos after the appointment is made.<\/p>\n
Mweb is one of South Africa\u2019s oldest consumer ISPs \u2013 launched in 1997 \u2013 and has one of the strongest brands.<\/p>\n
In the late nineties, Mweb became well-known for its Big Black Box, which became synonymous with getting an Internet connection at home.<\/p>\n
The company was also behind bringing affordable uncapped broadband products to South Africans through its aggressive uncapped ADSL products which were launched in March 2010.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Mweb launched a new logo to align its new look with its online and digital brand identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur category is tech, our business strategy is online, and our marketing activity is digitally-led,\u201d Holgate said after the launch.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe felt that our identity needed to be in line with that. We also wanted to refresh our look while still maintaining our core brand identity.\u201d<\/p>\n
