Taste, the share price of which slumped from R5.25 in July 2015 to 4c, has recently offloaded food businesses in a desperate bid to exit the fast-food industry. These include the Fish & Chip Co and Maxi’s.Taste said Pienaar was stepping down “given the revision in Taste’s strategy to become a luxury-goods business and having successfully navigated the sale and transition of Starbucks, restaurant chain Maxi’s and the Fish & Chip Co”.
Before joining Taste Holdings, Pienaar spent 10 years at Grand Parade Investments Limited , mainly as its CFO and more recently as the CEO of its food division.
