Cell C Pty Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Jose Dos Santos said he regrets his choice of words after telling a South African radio station that women can be more aggressive in the workplace than men and that the mobile-phone company hires attractive female interns to boost morale.
“I regret my choice of words, which I realize were offensive,” Dos Santos said in e-mailed comments on Tuesday. “I mentioned that in my experience, I have seen instances where women do not support each other to get to the top. This has purely been my observation.”
