A qualified chartered accountant, Billy Last spent just over eight years at Ernst & Young before joining LexisNexis South Africa. His strong leadership and execution skills saw him quickly progressing from Finance Manager in 1988, to being appointed to the board in 1990. In 1991, Billy headed up Sales and Marketing and in 1993, he was appointed
as the CEO of LexisNexis. Under his astute leadership, the business has evolved from a publisher into a knowledge-based, total solutions business. Billy was instrumental in securing Kagiso Media as LexisNexis’s black economic empowerment partner from 1997 until 2011 and subsequently the Tsiya Group in 2012, and he was honoured with the prestigious Reed Elsevier Leadership Award in 2008.
With the acquisition of Korbitec in 2015, Billy took up the additional role of Managing Director for Korbitec. Under his dynamic leadership, both Korbitec and LexisNexis will continue expanding focussed solutions strategies for the local and international market.
