MultiChoice CEO Marc Jury steps down
The CEO of MultiChoice South Africa, Marc Jury, has resigned from his position after almost 10 years at the helm.
Jury will officially leave the post in March 2025, when he will be succeeded by Byron du Plessis, who is currently the Deputy Group CFO.
In statement, MultiChoice Group CEO Calvo Mawela said Jury is leaving the organisation to pursue opportunities in the business of sport.
During his tenure, Jury held key leadership roles, including being CEO of SuperSport and Showmax.
He was also instrumental in the overseeing of the SA20 cricket league, the launch of the Netball World Cup's historic all-female production crew, the Lions rugby tour, the growth of DStv Stream, and the Showmax 2.0 launch.
MultiChoice’s latest financial results reveal that its revenue declined by 11% to R24.8 billion.
"While we are sad to see him go, we are immensely proud of the legacy he leaves behind and are grateful for the contributions he has made to the business," said Mawela.
"Marc has been a passionate advocate for fostering a culture where people thrive and excel, and his positive impact on our organisation will be felt for years to come.
"Marc will continue to work closely with us over the next four months to ensure a seamless handover to his successor, Byron du Plessis, who will step into the role of CEO: MCSA on 1 December 2024, which marks the beginning of the handover period.”
