Altron Systems Integration appoints Hlubi Madikiza as public sector sales executive

Altron Systems Integration, a specialist provider that leverages world-class technology and leading practices to architect, implement and support sustainable ICT-based business solutions, has announced the appointment of Hlubi Madikiza as Digital Transformation Sales Executive for Public Sector. The hire comes as the company looks to expand its presence in the local public sector and achieve its growth ambitions.

“We are delighted to introduce Hlubi Madikiza as our new Digital Transformation Sales Executive for Public Sector. Hlubi will be partnering closely with the Public Sector sellers and leaders across the Altron digital transformation businesses and will be working on, and implementing, a One Altron Public Sector plan that will lay the foundation for growth in this strategic market,” says James Hickman, Sales Director: Digital Transformation at Altron.

Madikiza has been in the ICT industry for over 15 years, holding a variety of roles in account management, sales management and sales leadership – and receiving numerous accolades for his work. This includes six years’ experience in senior management, leading sales teams in both the private and public sector. He has a B.Com Finance degree from the University of KwaZulu-Natal and completed a Management Development Programme (MDP) from Stellenbosch Business School.

He is a customer-centric sales leader with a thorough understanding of the South African ICT landscape and strong industry relationships with business decision makers and technology vendors alike. Madikiza truly believes that technology provides the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of customers, and in the case of the public sector, this extends to making a difference in the lives of ordinary South Africans.

“I’m joining a very dynamic and strong leadership core and this attracted me. I believe in the company’s vision of the role that it can play in the South African ICT industry. The breadth of the company’s client base and extensive OEM relationships mean it is well-positioned for growth and to be a change agent in the industry – and country by enabling the government to digitise its systems, operate its IT infrastructure more efficiently, lower costs, and innovate around service delivery,” says Madikiza.

As such, a major focus area for Madikiza going forward will be around driving collaboration between the different entities within the Altron group, and in ensuring that Altron brings the full value of the group to its customers, while also driving end-to-end technology solutions that take customers’ businesses forward.

“Altron is an iconic and leading South African technology company and I am energised by the opportunity to be able to bring a wide array of solutions that can support the government in achieving its objectives to the fore. We can realise value for our shareholders and employees while also meaningfully transforming our customers’ organisations”,” says Madikiza

Hlubi has a B.Com Finance degree from the University of KwaZulu-Natal and completed a Management Development Programme (MDP) from Stellenbosch Business School . He has worked at major South African technology brands such as Dimension Data and MTN, while his most recent position prior to joining Altron was as Senior Sales Manager for Public and Private Enterprises at Nexio.

“Hlubi is a client and people-centric sales leader who believes in the power of collaboration and innovation to make a positive difference in our clients’ lives. We are excited to have him on board and look forward to his contributions in driving our business growth,” concludes Hickman.
