Subtitle: Creating a Multi-Billion Rand Cellular Industry Author: Eunice Afonso With Author's Inscription Publisher: Picador Africa (2009) ISBN-10: 1770101640 ISBN-13: 9781770101647 Condition: Very Good. Binding: Softcover Pages: 206 Dimensions: 23.3 x 15.2 x 1.6 cm +++ by Eunice Afonso (With Author's Inscription) +++ Bold and courageous, sometimes outrageous - Alan's visionary leadership, foresight and persistence put Vodacom and South Africa on the map of world firsts. In a spontaneous tribute, the entire audience listening to Vodacom's annual financial results in 2008 rose to its feet to acknowledge the man regarded as the father of a cellular in Africa and the architect of a multi-billion rand industry - a standing ovation that left retiring CEO of Vodacom, Alan Knott-Craig, momentarily speechless.
A maverick civil servant from the government telephone operator, Telkom, Alan masterfully steered a fledgling cellular company to unparalleled financial success, shaping a revolutionary concept into one of the most powerful brands in Southern Africa -- Vodacom.
On Alan's retirement in 2008, Vodacom valued at R 150 billion, had realized fourteen consecutive years of double digit growth, an operating profit for that year of R 12.5 billion, an income of R 48 billion and 33 million customers in five African countries. It was an exceptional achievement for a man whose priority was not to build a financial empire but to empower people through communication.
