Anton Herbst named new CEO of Tarsus Technology Group
Herbst replaces Miles Crisp who resigned earlier in February to pursue new interests.
Between 2001 and 2011, Herbst was the managing director of Advanced Channel Technologies (ACT), a company within TTG that focused on the distribution of printer consumables and accessories. Under Herbst’s leadership, ACT grew from a startup into a billion rand enterprise by the time he left to start his own consulting business.
Herbst re-joined TTG in July 2013 as CEO of Tarsus Distribution and served as a member of the main board. He assumed responsibility for group strategy and innovation in 2014 and was appointed CEO of Tarsus On Demand in 2016. Herbst will continue to hold the position of Tarsus On Demand CEO in addition to his new role.
Wealth of experience
“Anton is passionate about people, particularly the people of Tarsus... His wealth of channel experience, strategic acumen and intimacy with our business means he is an ideal person to lead the group in the next stage of its development,” says Lawrence Barnett, chairman of the TTG board.
Subject to the approval of the Competition Commission, TTG is set to be acquired by Alviva Holdings in a deal announced last year. Due diligence has been completed and other suspensive conditions relating to the transaction have been agreed to by Investec Bank, the majority shareholder in TTG and Alviva.
