Global fund, corporate and private client services provider JTC has appointed Elize Botha as managing director for South Africa.
Botha will be responsible for overseeing JTC’s Cape Town office which employs more than 180 people to provide support services to institutional clients in the global asset management industry. The office was established in 2007 and became part of the JTC Group in 2015.

As a global professional services provider, our team needs to have the knowledge and expertise to deliver exceptional standards at all times and Elize is clearly an excellent addition.”
