President & CEO at Sasol
Niche: Production
Revenue: Approx. USD 1.2 Billion/month
Location: Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa
Started: 1950
Having spent extensive time in project engineering and operations, I recognized that our engineering teams possessed world-class execution capabilities that were traditionally confined to downstream chemical units. Deploying that specialized engineering expertise directly into our mining facilities allowed us to execute the destoning intervention swiftly, rectifying coal quality at the foundational stage of our value chain.
