Skywise Announces New CO-CEO
Skywise Airlines proudly announces that Mr. Irfan Pardesi has joined the leadership structures as the new Co-CEO with immediate effect. He will share the role with current CEO Johan Borstlap.
We warmly welcome Mr. Pardesi with his rich background of innovation skills in diversified businesses. He will induce young blood, energy and risk-taking abilities to an airline that is rising in the South African domestic aviation industry.
“I believe in consumer facing industries where the customer experience is what matters, I call myself the Customer Experience Officer” comments Mr. Pardesi.
A graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science, he has demonstrated his business acumen, responsible for the birth and escalation of some of the top performing firms in South Africa, the African continent and internationally.
He made his mother proud by taking a company from $22 000 organically without funding or financing to a group valuation of over a $450 million in just over nine years. His interests span the technologies, forex trading, securities, real estate and entertainment industries in Africa and the Middle East.
Successful in his own right, he is always on the lookout for new opportunities and connecting with like-minded individuals.
This informed the decision by the Co-Chairs Ms. Tabassum Qadir and Mr. J. Malik, to select him. The pair believes he will complement well the existing management.
“We have confidence of Mr. Pardesi’s innovation qualities leading Skywise further to a much more robust airline,” states the co-chairs.
Skywise is experiencing encouraging growth, based on its distinctive value-additions of free luggage, free cup of coffee/tea and VIP red carpet treatment.
