Johannesburg - The chief executive of Advtech stepped down on Monday, only seven months at the helm after a disagreement with the board of the private education firm, the interim CEO said.
Leslie Maasdorp was appointed CEO last August after four years as chairperson. His predecessor Frank Thompson was recalled from retirement to become an interim CEO.
"There were differences of opinion and that led to the decision on the parting of ways," Thompson said in a conference call but declined to give further details, saying the terms of Maasdorp departure were confidential.
