GDK makes new appointment to leadership team to support global expansion

Deon Pillay joins as chief procurement and sustainability officer amidst the organisation’s ambitious global growth during 2022

Deon Pillay brings with him 18-plus years of senior supply chain and procurement leadership having had successful engagements across a multitude of countries, industries and multinational corporations such as Peloton, Mars, Samsung and Nando’s to name a few.

“The growth plans for GDK are ambitious and that coupled with the brand’s passionate attention to detail in their quest to be successful is what drew me to the organisation,” said Deon. “I look forward to building a world-class global supply chain that can help facilitate and complement these exciting expansion plans. I am proud to be a part of this wonderful journey with GDK and help push the brand to the forefront of the global market as a fast-casual brand of the future.”

Deon’s passion is developing supply chain teams into motivated powerhouses, forming the necessary foundation and backbone to deliver and maintain operational excellence in the shortest time spans.

He is no stranger to global expansion, having been at the helm of the supply chain transformation of Nando’s Grocery, taking it to all corners of the globe and initiating best-in-class processes and supply partners along the way. 

The brand now has over 130 restaurants worldwide as it continues to bring the GDK experience to more locations worldwide.

Imran Sayeed, CEO of GDK International, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Deon Pillay to the GDK family. He has a fantastic breadth of experience across global markets and knows how to create a well-run and cost-efficient supply chain. He will be instrumental in our international expansion plans and will further reinforce GDK as a game-changing brand.”
