- Jaco Kriek, Chief Executive Officer of South Africa’s Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (Pty) Ltd (PBMR), today announced his resignation. Kriek has agreed with Dr Alistair Ruiters, Chairman of the PBMR Board, to assist with a hand-over process and will also continue to assist with specific PBMR activities in the next few months.
The Board of PBMR expressed its appreciation to Jaco for the exceptional work he performed over the past six years as CEO of PBMR. Under his leadership, the PBMR company has grown from a small Research & Development company to a global company that is capable of participating in international nuclear programmes.
Westinghouse, a US based nuclear company and investor in Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (Pty) Ltd, also thanked Jaco for his guidance and stewardship of the PBMR Company.
According to Kriek, he wants to explore opportunities in the energy industry, but does not have any immediate plans regarding his future. “I am going to take a good break and will consider my new career once I am back,” he says.
Kriek is a qualified Chartered Accountant (SA) and a Fellow member of the Institute of Chartered Management Accountants (UK). He also obtained an M.Com (Financial Management) degree at the Rand Afrikaans University (now called the University of Johannesburg) and completed a Management Development programme at the INSEAD business school in France.
Before his stint at PBMR he was Executive Vice President: Projects at the IDC, where he was responsible for mega projects.
The PBMR Board has announced that Dr Alex Tsela, currently PBMR’s GM: Nuclear Compliance Assurance, has been appointed as the acting CEO. |
