Kathmandu has appointed Jolann van Dyk as chief information officer (CIO) following the resignation of incumbent CIO, Grant Taylor.

van Dyk joined Kathmandu in July 2014 as enterprise solutions manager. Prior to this he has 16 years experience in IT management and consulting services, including senior leadership roles at Farmlands Cooperative Society, Intergen, and Hewlett Packard.

He will take up the role from April.

Taylor has been with Kathmandu since August 2010 and will leave to take up a new executive level opportunity outside the IT sector.

“Grant has been instrumental in leading a transformation of Kathmandu’s information systems, including our successful Microsoft Dynamics AX implementation. We wish Grant every success in his new role,” said Kathmandu acting CEO, Mark Todd.
