Hollard Insurance Group has appointed corporate marketing executive Hazel Chimhandamba as the group’s new chief marketing officer (CMO).
Chimhandamba will be responsible for overseeing the planning, development and execution of an organisation’s marketing and advertising initiatives, with a primary mandate to drive business growth.
“We are thrilled to have Chimhandamba join us. She has extensive experience in leading marketing roles in the insurance, telecommunications and banking sectors, and we are especially keen to benefit from her expertise in pan-African brand marketing,” says Hollard’s CEO Willie Lategan.
Speaking about her new position Chimhandamba said, “I am truly excited to take on this new challenge and look forward to becoming a Hollardite. The group is on a transformative journey as it expands on the African continent, and I am honoured to be part of a team that is driving this Pan-African strategy while offering localised solutions in each operating country,”
Prior joining Hollard, the newly appointed CMO was at Cell C, where she has been the executive head of marketing since 2019.
She holds a master of business administration (MBA) degree from the University of Pretoria’s Gordon Institute of Business Science and attended executive leadership programmes at London Business School and Wits Business School.
