Meet Peter Mountford: SA's most underrated CEO, from R350m to R10bn in 6yrs

Loading player...
The most valuable accolades for any CEO are those spontaneously offered by investment professionals. Over dinner last week, two of SA’s leading money managers, Cy Jacobs (36One) and Duncan Artus (Allan Gray) named Super Group’s Peter Mountford as SA’s most under-rated CEO. To find out why, we invited Mountford into the Biznews studio to tell us his story – one which explains how, in just six years, he managed to transform a near bankrupt business capitalised at just R350m into a group now worth R10bn. It’s a tale of a business scientist backed by a visionary directorate drawing on dollops of wisdom generously shared by business giants Meyer Kahn and Bill Lynch. – Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices.
