Outgoing TSL boss speaks on exit

Former Tobacco Sales Limited (TSL) chief executive officer Patrick Devenish has said there was nothing sinister about his short stint at the helm of the group after he left the position early this month following the appointment of Dereck Odoteye as the new boss.

Odoteye, who was the chief finance officer, was with effect from February 1, 2020 appointed the group chief executive, taking over from Devenish.

Devenish was appointed group CEO in February 2018, replacing veteran banker Washington Matsaira, who was at the helm of the company for almost six years.
