operationalised model for the delivery of IT
services, will be top of mind this year. The
partner channel will need to adapt to this
transformation to protect revenue streams
and remain profitable.
It’s important to
keep energy high,
encouraging people
to succeed.
What are your personal interests
and where do you like to spend
most of your time after work?
My main interest is running, sometimes
on the road, but mainly trail running. I will
be participating in a number of ultra trails
this year both in South Africa and Europe,
including Ultra Trail Mont Blanc. As part of
trying to give back in a small way, I am on
the committee of my running club, Randburg
Harriers, and also host a social trail every
Tuesday evening. The social trail also
dovetails nicely with my other passion, craft
beer, as the run is based out of a bar.
How do you cope with stress and
demands of your career?
Running is a fantastic way to relax and mull
over the stresses of a career, while having
62
fantastic health benefits. I really believe a
healthy body assists with a healthy mind.
What gives you great
job satisfaction?
Creating an environment for success and
seeing those objectives fulfilled both in the
short and longer term. This is especially
important with the partner community I
work with, whose success is directly linked
to my success in a symbiotic relationship.
