(Bloomberg) -- Absa Group Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Daniel Mminele is leaving South Africa’s third-largest bank after a dispute over strategy, ending a 16-month tenure just as the lender looked to bounce back from the Covid-19 crisis.
The board and CEO differed on a range of matters including “structure, operating model, priorities -- and how you go about implementing them,” Chairman Wendy Lucas-Bull said in an interview on Tuesday. “It’s a lack of ability to get onto the same page.”
Financial Director Jason Quinn will step into the top job on an interim basis, becoming the bank’s fourth leader in less than three years, Absa said in an earlier statement.
