GVK-Siya Zama appoints new Gauteng MD
Privately owned construction company GVK-Siya Zama has appointed Jabu Serithi as the new MD of its Gauteng business.
“It’s a privilege and I feel honoured to join such an established leadership team. I look forward to making my mark by bringing a unique perspective to the leadership brand in this region,” says Serithi.
She joined the group as senior quantity surveyor in its Gauteng business in 2009 and served as commercial director in the regional business, before taking up a directorship at group level in 2019.
“I believe that an entrepreneurial approach is imperative in our industry so that teams are equipped to respond swiftly to the numerous demands on the business and its people,” she says.
GVK-Siya Zama says Serithi values engagement and a good rapport with stakeholders across all levels. She emphasises that trust is intrinsic to project delivery, a critical component of client satisfaction.
“Difficult conversations don’t need to strain relationships as long as we remember that the common goal is to cement the success of all stakeholders – it’s business, and nothing personal,” Serithi continues.
The company notes that Serithi also values agility.
Despite the challenges facing the construction industry, notably that of an increased loss of skills through emigration, much can be done to eliminate certain push factors.
“It calls on all of us to create environments that are ripe with opportunities for employees; that of skills development, career growth and financial reward,” says Serithi.
