Danone Southern Africa has appointed Nyaladzi Moyo as Country Director, as part of its strategy to strengthen leadership and accelerate growth.
Moyo joined Danone in 2025 as Commercial Director and has since played a key role in driving sales performance and strengthening the company’s growth and execution capabilities, Danone said in a statement.
“He brings a strong understanding of the South African market, as well as experience from previous roles at Beiersdorf Southern Africa and Procter & Gamble, where he worked both locally and in Canada.”
He holds an MBA from Warwick Business School and a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Nelson Mandela University. His appointment reflects Danone’s focus on building strong local leadership to support the continued growth of the South African business.
“I’m honoured to step into this role at such a pivotal time for the business. South Africa is a key market with strong potential, and I look forward to building on the momentum already established. Together with the team, my focus will be on making our iconic brands like Nutriday, Ultramel, Yogisip and DanUp deliver meaningful value to our retail partners and our consumers,” says Nyaladzi.
This appointment is part of Danone’s broader efforts to build a more connected and responsive organisation across Africa. By strengthening leadership across key markets, the company aims to continue growing its Dairy business while delivering products that meet the needs of consumers across the region.
