Barry Venter
Nashua Group has appointed a long-time company executive, Barry Venter, as its new CEO, replacing Mark Taylor at the Reunert-owned technology provider.
Venter, who has been with Nashua for 22 years, started as a contractor, worked in the company’s warehouse, packed Sim cards and sold second-hand phones to dealers before working his way up into management roles, including as GM of operations and later as chief operating officer of Nashua Mobile.
TechCentral reported last August that Taylor would step down from the board of Reunert on 1 October 2019, where he served as an executive director, ahead of his planned retirement at Nashua and emigration from South Africa in 2020.
We need to be nimble enough to continue to stay relevant, keeping people safe but engaged
Taylor had a longstanding relationship with Reunert, having joined the group in 2003 as CEO of Nashua Mobile.
He then returned to Reunert, again as CEO of Nashua Mobile, before being appointed as CEO of Nashua Group and an executive director on Reunert’s board in November 2013.
