JSE-listed Allied Technologies (Altech) has appointed Tim Ellis as group executive of converged services, with effect from the beginning of this month.
Ellis has more than 20 years of experience in the ICT sector and was formerly with Cisco as sales director for the public sector business within Africa and emerging markets. During his 11 years at Cisco, he managed various roles and directed sales teams in the commercial, enterprise and public sector.
Before joining Cisco, Ellis worked for a large system integrator and previous to that he was a partner in a technology start-up company.
Ellis will report directly to Altech COO Jeffrey Hedberg, and will manage all the operations in the converged services and connectivity structure within the Altech Group, including all Altech Stream East Africa operations, Altech Fleetcall, Altech Alcom Matomo and Altech Radio Distributors.
Hedberg says Ellis's skills and experience ideally match Altech's objective of developing converged services across the Altech group.
Ellis began his career as a computer programmer, and holds an MBA Post Graduate Diploma from the Graduate School of Business of Heriot-Watt University, and a Management Advancement Programme qualification from the University of Witwatersrand.
