MultiChoice South Africa CEO Mark Rayner has resigned after almost 14 years with the pay-TV operator.
"It is with great regret that today we announced the departure of Mark Rayner from MultiChoice, effective 30 November 2020," says MultiChoice in a statement.
"Having been part of the MultiChoice family for the past 14 years leading in various parts of the group, Mark Rayner has now decided to further his journey outside the group. Over the years Mark has been a key part of driving growth, championing product innovation and pushing customer focus," says MultiChoice.
"We wish him well in the future. An announcement on Mark’s successor will be made in the near future."
MultiChoice didn't announce any temporary acting MultiChoice SA CEO.
Mark Rayner joined MultiChoice in March 2007 as DStv Mobile chief financial officer (CFO) after which he became CEO of DStv Mobile, progressed to chief operating officer (COO) of MultiChoice South Africa and became MultiChoice South Africa CEO in May 2016.
The exit of the highly-respected Mark Rayner, a chartered accountant who joined the Randburg-based pay-TV operator, comes just under 2 months since the abrupt resignation of Niclas Ekdahl in mid-June as MultiChoiceConnected Video CEO.
