Marc Hasenfuss returns to newsroom

Hasenfuss will, however, remain at Fin24. “While Marc's leadership is a loss to both titles, there is much benefit to be had in the reintroduction of his exceptional qualities as a journalist to our collective intellectual capital in the newsroom,” says Fin24 GM Rikus Delport.

During the past year, Fin24.co.za and Finweek have shown significant growth, says Delport, and he believes that the passing of leadership baton also heralds the next phase of the business development – to create a singular financial intelligence service brand, with a greater multi-platform product portfolio.

“I believe that under Colleen and David's leadership,” says Delport, “2008 will be another year of overachievement. This, coupled with our team of exceptional writers, will ensure that Finweek and Fin24 remain positioned as South Africa's top financial weekly and online publications.”
