Google has appointed Mzamo Masito as its chief marketing officer for East, Central, and Western Africa.
Masito will be based in Google’s office in Johannesburg, the largest city in Africa, and work to capitalize on Google's successes in a diverse and widespread region made up of 46 out of Africa's 54 countries.

The focus of Masito's team will be to increase access to the internet, enhance locally relevant products and content, and help people take advantage of the opportunities offered by the internet.
