After joining the Caxton family in 1996, Vahl has until most recently been the branch manager at the Highway Mail. She is fully versed in the local newspaper platform both from a sales and an editorial point of view.
"Michelle’s transition from branch manager into NAB’s sales and marketing team has been seamless thanks to her long association with Caxton’s culture," says joint MD Gill Randall. "She’s also had a lot of experience heading up a team and running various training programmes within Caxton. We’re thrilled to have her on board where she is already having a positive effect on the team."
"I thrive on change and am really excited about this new opportunity," says Vahl. "I would like to thank everyone here at NAB for being so welcoming and open hearted. You have made me feel part of this amazing team and made this transition so easy for me. I look forward to getting to know you all better and working with you for a very long time."
Last year Vahl was one of 14 women in South Africa chosen to participate in the Win programme, a management development course designed specifically for women in media. Training included human resource management, marketing management, financial management, strategy development, coaching, change management, organisational cultures, digital media, management vs leadership, advertising and marketing and new media models.
