Loyalty Business
Client Profile
Our client was a globally recognised loyalty business with both a B2B & B2C franchise. A recent strategic partnership in South Africa provided the platform for the development of significant market presence & the development of a broader pan-African business. To facilitate this a Country Manager was required who could work with significant autonomy to drive customer acquisition, activation & engagement. This was a critical appointment to the success of this venture
Client Requirement

Outcome
We delivered a diverse shortlist of candidates from each of the target industry segments appointing a candidate from one of South Africa’s leading banks
