He holds a Master’s in Business Leaders (MBL) from Unisa and a Master’s in Science (Electrical Engineering) from the University of the Witwatersrand.
“I am excited to join Zutari. Infrastructure development remains a priority for governments and businesses in Africa and the Middle East. I look forward to working with the teams to provide our clients with the engineering design solutions that they require to achieve their strategic goals,” says Meko.
“We are invested in our clients’ success. Over the past 90 years, we have formed a deep-rooted relationship with Africa, the Middle East, and its people. Our strong relationships allow us to connect the right expertise, processes, and resources to match our clients’ needs and bring in stakeholders with shared interests,” says Zutari CEO Teddy Daka.
Prior to Zutari, Meko was a Director of Strategy and Integrated Solutions and Group Executive Operations at Servest Group. He was also Board Chairman at DIPFM, a Servest subsidiary, where he developed a robust board management system and maintained profitability amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
