Her most recent was the human capital executive for Primedia Outdoor and Primedia Retail — both in South Africa and for the rest of Africa. This is a position that she will still retain.

Procter says, "Primedia is an environment where creativity and innovation is recognised and encouraged; it is a key pillar of our sustainable growth strategy. Maimane has been with Primedia for almost 12 years and she has demonstrated her dynamism and professionalism."

"As our new group chief talent officer, she will play a pivotal role in creating the environment where talented people want to be and can excel brilliantly," adds Procter. 

"Primedia is an inspiring place to work where leadership lives the company values, encourages a high level of employee engagement and rewards performance," says Maimane.

"My role is to partner with the businesses in order to attract, develop and manage talent to ensure the highest level of business performance possible. I care about people and will do more to ensure that every employee is engaged, is appreciated and is motivated," concludes Maimane.

Procter has expressed his appreciation of her years of dedication and exemplary service to Primedia and wishes her well as she continues on the next step of her journey at Primedia in her new role.
