Mauritius Institute of Directors (MIoD) : New CEO

The Mauritius Institute of Directors (the MIoD) has announced the appointment of Mrs Jane Valls as its Chief Executive Officer with effect from 1 April 2010 to take over the position of the present CEO who has resigned and will be returning to South Africa at the end of February.

In making this announcement Pierre Dinan, the Chairman of the MIoD says: “Whilst we regret that Pat Mahony decided to leave us earlier than at the end of his contract we wish him well in his retirement. We are delighted to have recruited Jane Valls to take over the reins from Pat. Jane has lived in Mauritius for many years and is well known in the corporate world, having occupied positions of seniority within the Rogers group and also in the travel and leisure industry. Most recently Jane has established an excellent reputation as a trainer, having run her own consultancy practice in this field. As such Jane is well qualified to lead the MIoD in promoting its objectives which can be summarised as ‘excellence in corporate governance'.

Mr Dinan has made it clear that although there will be a short gap between the departure of the current CEO and when Jane Valls takes office this does not mean that there will be a lack of service on the part of the MIoD. Our offices will be relocating to Raffles Tower in Ebene in the course of April and we will provide details of our new contact numbers in due course.

Commenting on her appointment, Jane had this to say: “I am excited about taking on this challenge and playing a leading role in promoting Corporate Governance in both the public and private sectors. Mauritius is a small country but this does not mean that we have to take a back seat in encouraging the adoption of internationally recognised best practices in the way we conduct our enterprises.
