Business Connexion (BCX) has instituted a re-organisation process to accelerate the group’s positioning as a global player.
This process includes a change in the group’s executive team and the creation of a new group structure to support the delivery of sustainable growth with greater agility and efficiency.
The reviewed group executive leadership team will comprise of: CEO Benjamin Mophatlane; deputy CEO Vanessa Olver; chief financial officer Lawrence Weitzman; chief sales and marketing officer Isaac Mophatlane; chief operating officer Jane Canny; chief investment and alliance officer Matthew Blewett; and group HR executive Grace Dipale.
Olver will also head up a newly-established strategic office, to assist in accelerating the execution of key elements of the group strategy.
Isaac Mophatlane will lead global sales, marketing and customer management. All regional heads across the continent will also report to him.
Over the coming months, the current business units will be organised into agile entities, clustered into three divisions: converged infrastructure solutions; business solutions; and investments and alliances.
Executive teams for these divisions will be announced shortly and minimal changes are expected within the operating business units.
Canny will be responsible for the global operations of the converged infrastructure solutions and business solutions divisions.
Blewett will be responsible for mergers and acquisitions as well as the investments and alliances division.
Weitzman and Dipale will support the reviewed group executive leadership team.
Benjamin Mophatlane comments on the restructuring: “The new structure will provide the platform to put our customers at the centre of everything we do by clustering associated services, improving efficiencies and enabling the group to grow key regions across the continent.
“As the largest employer of IT professionals on the African continent, the new structure will also enable us to deliver services and solutions that address the evolving needs of our customers by channelling talent more efficiently, improving collaboration across the organisation and leveraging the strength of our collective assets.”
The transition into the new structure is expected to be completed in the last quarter of the financial year and teams of senior executives have been put in place to ensure business continuity and the delivery of current targets.
