Anthony Peters has been appointed Financial Director of the newly restructured Airborne Group.
Peters joins Airborne after a three-year stint as Executive Manager: Finance and Central Services for South Africa's premier tourist destination, the V&A Waterfront, where he was actively involved in the record-breaking R7 billion sale of the company two years ago.
He says: “My interaction with Airborne started at the Waterfront, where Airborne was our IT partner of choice, and throughout our relationship I have been impressed with what they have delivered, their professionalism, innovation and culture. Airborne is a young, successful company, which is thriving in spite of the depressed economy.”
Peters will not only manage the financial side of the group's expanding business interests, but his considerable experience in business process management, business structure and risk management will be available to clients through consulting, to facilitate a perfect operational fit for all future IT development projects.
Says Airborne COO, Brian Harding: “We have always boxed above our weight, and with the experience and track record we have gained in the past four years, our management team is ready to step up to the next level... in line with our expanded business model. It was vital that we have a seasoned Financial Director to assist us in this next phase of our growth, and we are delighted that we have been able to persuade such a senior player to join us.”
Future plans for Airborne include building hosted business applications, which will be made available on a subscription basis via the Internet.
Says Airborne CEO, Sean O'Connell: “Airborne has achieved a critical mass of 60 consultants and five current Microsoft Gold certifications, with our mature development processes and impressive delivery track record positively acknowledged by industry specialists. We intend maintaining our winning culture by limiting headcount growth and focusing on alternate revues derived from internally developed, hosted 'cloud' solutions and associated value-added services. Our significant outsourcing portfolio and track record has positioned us well to assist clients to drive and implement strategies that take advantage of the cloud computing IT model.”
