JOHANNESBURG — Financial services veteran Stephen van Coller left a top job at MTN to join EOH Holdings in September this year. As EOH's new group CEO, a lot is riding on van Coller to turn around the IT company, which has faced several scandals, a falling share price and financial performance challenges in the last 18 months.

In this interview, van Coller explains why he joined EOH, how he's dealing with challenges at the company and what his big plans are. - Gareth van Zyl Learn more about your ad choices.
