Nantha Moodley, HEINEKEN South Africa's former sales director, has been promoted to the role of regional route-to-market director for Africa, Middle East and Eastern Europe. Moodley will be based in HEINEKEN's headquarters in Amsterdam.

Financial director Eric Van Lokven, who has been with the South African business for four years, has also been promoted to a new global role within HEINEKEN. Maarten Hoedemaker, who will be tasked with driving the local business's growth plan, has replaced him.

"Eric and Nantha joined HEINEKEN South Africa at its inception in 2015 and they have both been instrumental in growing the business to unprecedented success," says Gerrit van Loo, managing director of HEINEKEN South Africa.

"These two global promotions prove that HEINEKEN South Africa's management team represents the perfect mix of local and international knowledge and experience," concludes van Loo.

Jason Cox has succeeded Moodley as the sales director for HEINEKEN South Africa. Cox joined HEINEKEN early in 2017 in the role of trade marketing director. He holds a bachelor of commerce from the University of Pretoria and completed the management development programme at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Cape Town.

Another appointment to the management team is that of Kedibone Molefi, who has been promoted to the position of legal director. Molefi started her career with HEINEKEN South Africa in 2016 as legal counsel. She then joined Reunert Ltd as group legal advisor.

Molefi rejoined the business in 2018 as senior legal counsel and company secretary. She is an admitted attorney with an LL.B; LL.M (contracts); PG Dip Corp Law; and FCIS.
