Little Eden Society announces the new CEO

The new CEO's extensive experience in the non-profit and corporate sectors will help her take Little Eden forward.

Little Eden Society has announced the appointment of Ann Coetzee as its new CEO.

This comes after outgoing CEO Xelda Rohrbeck stepped down from the position in August due to medical and health-related reasons.

Coetzee will be CEO of Little Eden, which cares for 300 children and adults, effective from November 1.

With a strong background in both the NPO and corporate sectors, Coetzee brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the Society.

Outgoing Rohrbeck expressed her delight in passing the baton to Coetzee.

She said, “I am confident Ann will take Little Eden to new heights.

“Her extensive experience, including 22 years running her own consulting business and leading NPOs such as Bridges of Hope Trust and the Tereo Project, makes her the ideal choice to guide the Society forward.”

Chairperson of the board of governors, Luigi Slaviero, echoed Rohrbeck’s sentiment.

“We are thrilled to welcome Ann to the Little Eden family,” said Luigi.

He added that her leadership will strengthen the society’s mission and ensure that it continues to provide residents with the love and care they deserve.

“We do not doubt that she [Coetzee] will build on the solid foundation laid by Rohrbeck and help us grow in service to our community.”
