Furthermore, his business expertise includes his experience in multinational and listed companies, and international brands ranging from telecommunications, manufacturing, retail, financial services, real estate, food, medical devices, hospitality, and mining equipment.
“In addition to the above skills and expertise that Mr. Mahomed brings to the group, he has a wealth of multinational finance experience with particular expertise in mergers and acquisitions, strategy and development, property management, investor relations, change management, and business turnaround skills,” Oceana Group said, adding that Mahomed is also a skilled negotiator.
“I am excited and proud to be joining a group with such a long history and I am looking forward to contributing to its future success.
