Bob van Dijk on JustEat, JP, Techcrunch - and why for Prosus "the future's bright"

Loading player...
Almost six years into his tenure as the group's CEO, Prosus boss Bob van Dijk is getting used to living in the spotlight - and attention the media gives his personal financial affairs. But whatever your views on what he is paid, as you listen to this wide ranging interview there can be little doubt the man recruited by his precedessor and now Naspers chairman Koos Bekker is delivering the goods. Van Dijk (47) who was poached from eBay in 2013, has a unique grasp on the way the technology world is going. This is informed by a global perspective shaped not only by watching developments from the west but also through close collaboration with the group's Chinese partners, dominant players in the world's most populous market. Prosus shares have underperformed since their high profile listing in Amsterdam last year, but those taking the long view will take plenty of confidence from this in-depth discussion.
