Dimension Data Middle East and Africa CEO Grant Bodley will step down at the end of the month and will be replaced by current COO Werner Kapp.<\/p>\n
Bodley will stay on beyond 31 March for a few months to work with Kapp to ensure a smooth transition.<\/p>\n
Kapp has been with Dimension Data MEA for just over 20 years and has been the company\u2019s Chief Operating Officer (COO) since 2015.<\/p>\n
In this role, he has been instrumental in delivering integrated solutions to clients across the Middle East and Africa region.<\/p>\n
He started his career in the IT industry in the nineties and joined Dimension Data in 2000, working in its services division.<\/p>\n
He was responsible for the Eastern Cape, Western Cape and Gauteng regions. Over that time and in these roles, he gained experience in client, revenue and people management.<\/p>\n
Kapp\u2019s appointment is part of Dimension Data\u2019s succession plan, which is designed to ensure business continuity and growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be taking on the new role of CEO and look forward to progressing our leadership position in IT services across the region,\u201d said Kapp.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am especially excited about our One Dimension Data operating model as I believe that it is a critical part of our differentiation in the market\u201d.<\/p>\n
Werner has a law degree from the Nelson Mandela University in Port Elizabeth, a Master\u2019s in Business Leadership from the UNISA School of Business, and completed the NTT Global Leadership Development Program at IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland.<\/p>\n
