Maziv Hires Top Executive From Rival Openserve

Dube's appointment as Maziv chief commercial officer comes after a 26-year career at Telkom, where he held various senior roles, most recently as CCO.

"Phila is the ideal candidate to drive our commercial strategies forward across our consumer, enterprise and carrier brands," said Maziv CEO Dietlof Mare in a statement on Wednesday.

Though initially focused on finance within sales and marketing organisation, Dube transitioned to commercial strategy, business strategy and product innovation, Maziv said.

"As the new group CCO at Maziv, Dube will focus on shaping the overall commercial strategy for the group, and exploring ways to engage and serve the company's various customer segments," the company said.
