Noedine Isaacs-Mpulo joins Lefatshe Technologies as CEO
JOHANNESBURG- Lefatshe Technologies, a Johannesburg-based IT company, is proud to announce that it successfully secured the services of Ms Noedine Isaacs-Mpulo as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Isaacs-Mpulo's appointment follows her resignation earlier this month as Chief Operations Officer and an Executive Director of SITA, the State Information Technology Agency. She leaves SITA after working there for nearly four years in different executive capacities.
In congratulating her, Lefatshe board chairman, Cheslyn Mostert said, "the skills, expertise and experience Isaacs-Mpulo brings to Lefatshe are unique and without comparison in the domestic IT industry".
Isaacs-Mpulo's successful tenure as COO at SITA is known and widely acknowledged in the industry. She successfully executed executive responsibility over core business areas even during periods when the organisation experienced a high turn-over at executive level. Her responsibilities at SITA included client relationship management, sales, business performance, procurement services, marketing, infrastructure services, running the day-to-day operations at SITA and increasing revenue to the present R3.4 billion.
"Given my experience at SITA, I believe there is a need for diversity in the IT industry and for new enterprises to challenge the monopoly of big corporations. Viable opportunities exist for small black-owned companies, but they need to develop intellectual property and enter the niche space of upstream service provision. I believe Lefatshe has this vision and I want to make a meaningful contribution to this emerging, black-owned enterprise," said Isaacs-Mpulo.
"Lefatshe welcomes the new CEO and firmly believes her leadership will harness the skills of the industry experts within the company. Isaacs Mpulo will lead a team that we believe will enable us to achieve our goal of becoming a major role player in the ICT industry", Mostert said. Isaacs-Mpulo had the option to pursue various other offers from dominant market players. Her decision to join Lefatshe, as a shareholder, demonstrates a principled commitment to further transformation in the ICT industry and to contribute to building capable black institutions in a highly competitive and contested market space.
