The decision to transition to a new CEO was inspired by the founder CEO, Jacques Du Preez.
Aspiring to their vision
“At Intellinexus, we’ve always been about the future and over-the-horizon thinking. Specifically, around the power of data and business. We think ahead, find solutions and become the experts. This transition to welcome a new CEO has been an aspiration for many years and is fully aligned to our vision. In response to our success and demand in the market, the time is right to double- down and scale our impact of offering technical depth around data capabilities. This requires dedicated focus. For our clients, welcoming Zimkhita opens a wealth of expanded board, executive and management support around data leadership and planning,” says Du Preez.
“Additionally, we’ve experienced an increasing business need for deep technical support, practical experience and even “data wisdom”. It is exciting that I can roll my sleeves up further and lead our Intellinexus expertise to new levels in my new role as Chief Operating Officer.” added Du Preez
As the newly appointed CEO of Intellinexus, Buwa said “The data journey is easy to be passionate about. We recently helped a client analyse vast amounts of customer data, which in turn helped them understand which products and services most popular, which customer segments most profitable, and which areas of the business are underperforming in real time! A year ago, they were unable to answer these critical questions. It’s this impact that drives us.”
