Ramos tight-lipped about possible successor

WITH JUST a few months left to the end of her tenure as Transnet group CEO, Maria Ramos refused to be drawn on her future plans when questioned at a press briefing in Johannesburg recently, laughing off a suggestion that she was up for the job as CEO of Vodacom. “I have a contract to fulfil and my style is to work to my last hour of my last day.” But it’s not about one person – the achievements of an organisation are all about team work, she added. On the question of a possible successor, she was non-committal. “You create a team across an organisation and you create possibilities so that everyone feels they have the possibility for something bigger. There are a number of very talented people in the organisation.”
