"Our market-leading, enduring brands provide me with a firm and ideal platform to help reshape Bravo Group’s future by developing and executing clear and resilient strategies to navigate our way in a current and post-pandemic industry, economy and world, ever-mindful of our responsibilities towards safer workplaces and communities and constantly-evolving consumer behaviour.”
“I look forward to working with the Bravo leadership team and family and taking Greg’s excellent legacy onwards to new levels of growth and innovation across the continent and beyond.”
Clive Harpur, chairman of Bravo’s board of directors, welcomed Dave to the organisation. “The shareholders and board of directors are very fortunate that Dave is able to transition with Greg Boulle during the remainder of this year, ensuring smooth continuity of leadership during the challenging operating environment we find ourselves in,” he said.
