Leading IT solutions provider Blue Turtle Technologies has announced that IT industry stalwart, Vincent Teboho Williams, has moved into a senior position at the firm as the director of business development.
Williams brings 30 years of experience in systems engineering, marketing and management experience to Blue Turtle. After a period at IBM, Williams spent the last seven years building empowerment IT company Lechabile as the sales director.
Blue Turtle directors Geoff van den Bosch and Martyn Healy have a long relationship with Williams. "We`re delighted to welcome Vincent to the organisation and believe he will make a powerful contribution to the team, positioning the business for further growth," says Healy. "He will open new avenues for us, particularly with regard to government and parastatal business."
"Blue Turtle has shown phenomenal success over a short period of time and I am confident that it will continue to be a major competitor in the market," says Williams, who has acquired shares.
"I support the philosophy of providing best-in-class solutions that suit customer needs from a variety of vendors, and driving excellence in implementation and support. This winning recipe enables the delivery of compelling and cost-effective technology management, and Blue Turtle`s growing blue chip client base is testimony to that."
BEE has been a key focus for Blue Turtle since inception as the company develops in line with SA`s transformation goals. "Blue Turtle has always been a true new South African organisation, with 30% of equity held by black partners," says Healy. "We support effective transformation and believe that BEE will facilitate economic growth, development and stability."
Blue Turtle has taken a strategic decision to create IT skills, and the company`s ongoing commitment to selecting and training previously disadvantaged IT graduates is proving very successful. The company also has an active corporate social responsibility policy, developing facilities at a rural school and supporting various needy causes, an area which will be further driven by Williams.
