"As young and emerging entrepreneurial companies mature, there is an increasing emphasis on day to day management and consequently less focus on the entrepreneurial activities that built the company and fueled its growth," says Paul de Vantier, RGT Smart CEO. "We want to keep that focus and having a strong, experienced and dynamic management professional on board, such as Frans Botha, will allow RGT Smart to continue on the path of successful growth and expansion."
Botha says he will have three core focus areas as part of his financial and operations role - staff engagement at all levels of the organisation; benchmarking performance and solutions driven analysis; and spearheading the company's investment to ensure a sustainable business model.
Botha is a qualified chartered account and was part of the team responsible for the successful listing of IQuad on the JSE AltX in August 2007.
