Eben Greyling, CEO of multinational media company Naspers’ pay-TV division, has stepped down after over 18 years with the group.
The listed company said Greyling had “decided to take a break and pursue new interests”.
Greyling was instrumental in building the group’s successful pay-TV businesses across Africa,
Naspers said. “Under his leadership over the last five years, the subscriber base and turnover of the pay-TV businesses more than doubled.”
Jim Volkwyn, previous head of the group’s pay-TV segment, takes over the reins as of today.
Greyling joined the MIH Group in 1996 as group financial manager of
MultiChoice.
Greyling is a chartered accountant and completed his articles at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He held various positions in the audit and corporate finance division of Pricewaterhouse Coopers until 1995.
