JOHANNESBURG – Till Streichert, Chief Financial Officer of Vodacom Group, has been named South Africa’s CFO of the Year at the 2017 CFO Awards. The award was announced last night at the end of the annual gala event for finance executives at Summer Place in Hyde Park, Johannesburg.

Earlier in the evening, Till was also presented with both the Strategy Execution Award and the Finance Transformation Award.

The annual CFO Awards are organised by CFO South Africa, the organisation that connects finance professionals through monthly events.

Furthermore, this accolade, speaks to the high calibre of leaders at the helm of our organisation who bring global mindsets, international experience and innovative leadership.

The CFO of the Year Award was handed out by Deloitte Southern Africa CEO Lwazi Bam. Till was appointed as CFO in August 2015.
