Ramos is Absa's new boss - Exiting Transnet boss and former National Treasury director-general Maria Ramos will take over from Steve Booysen as Absa CEO.

Twill be interesting to see what she gets up to at Absa. I think her Transnet work has gone more into balance sheet hygiene than any operational or strategic remediation. Perhaps balance sheet art is what Absa has lacked?

DST....any art...rock paintings or executive stickmen squiggles....in the comments column would improve the b/s

Selling of non-core business and booking the profits. Before her term all proceeds from privatisation (selling non-core) have been transfaerred to state coffers. At one stage Transnet was the biggest contributor to state as special dividend but the debt remained with the company. Having said that I realise that on this forum it not transnet but ABSA which need to be argued. CAn a political activist, Natinal Treasurer, Transport leader make a succesfull banker? Is this good for ABSA

it is a political move she is seen as in the top 40 of most powerful woman in the world
