T-Systems eyes Africa in management shake-up
Gert Schoonbee has been named as the new MD of IT outsourcing specialist T-Systems in SA, replacing Mardia van der Walt-Korsten, who is moving on to a role as regional head of the company's newly created Africa region.
13 Mar 2012
Schoonbee, who will take on the new role on 1 April, is the company's vice-president of sales.
Van der Walt-Korsten, who will also chair the SA business, says that SA previously formed part of T-Systems Europe, Middle-East and Africa and reported into the head office in Germany. T-Systems SA will now report into the new T-Systems Africa business.
T-Systems is the corporate customer arm of Germany's telecommunications giant, Deutsche Telekom.
The growth of the company's Africa operations makes it more practical to report to Johannesburg, particularly as the city is proving to be a hub for African businesses more broadly, says Van der Walt-Korsten.
