Hi there! I've been in the telecom world for over 25 years now, and it's been quite the journey of experiencing this industry grow from something exclusive to something everyone in Africa uses daily. I've climbed the ladder, starting as an Engineer and moving through various leadership roles at big companies like Telkom, Vodacom, and Vodacom Mozambique. Back in 2012, I joined Cell C, where I've been part of the team shaping some really cool tech projects. I love working with others and helping my team grow, which has led me to my current role as the Chief Information and Technology Officer. Here, we’ve been all about pushing forward our technology strategy, making sure it fits with our innovative spirit at Cell C. I'm all about learning, so I have three master's degrees—one in Business Administration, another in Philosophy of Corporate Strategy, and the last in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. This mix of tech know-how and real-world experience gives me a pretty unique view of where technology is heading, especially in Africa, with all the exciting changes of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Outside work, I enjoy the great outdoors, engaging in activities like mountain biking (MTB), cycling, running, trail running, and competing in triathlons. These pursuits keep me grounded and inspired. My big goal? To use all this technology to make a real, positive difference in people's lives across our beautiful continent.More...
