International business leaders to attend SA REIT Conference

Dr Reuel Khoza

Dr Reuel Khoza, a keynote speaker at the conference, is president of the Institute of Directors in Southern African (IoDSA), chairman of Aka Capital, a former chairman of Nedbank Group Limited and a director of several companies.

Delivering an address titled 'Whereto South Africa?', Khoza will look at the big issues that face South African business in 2016 and beyond. In doing so, he will offer his unique perspective as an Africanist who has been at the forefront of transformation in the South African political economy. Khoza is a seasoned voice on business leadership and corporate governance. He was involved in the formulation of the King Codes on Corporate Governance in both King II and King III.

Business influencers

International business influencers and innovators headlining the conference include ex-CEO of Unibail-Radamco, Guillaume Poitrinal - the driving force behind growing this European company into a global property giant. It is his first time speaking in South Africa. Forthright international keynote speaker Andrew Parsons, MD of Resolution Capital (Australia), will again challenge delegates with his thought-provoking ideas.

“Direct access to three such admired business leaders on a single insight-packed day is quite something,” says Mark Stevens, chairperson of the Marketing Committee of the SA REIT Association.
