On the back of tremendous growth for specialist systems integrator Logikal Consulting, the company has appointed Ravi Bhat as Group Chief Operating Officer, effective 1 August 2014. Bhat will be responsible for the company's Africa and India operations.
With a mandate to drive strategic initiatives in his areas to improve Logikal's market position, Bhat will be spearheading Logikal's business growth by building stronger relationships with key clients. With more than 22 years of industry experience working in large multi nationals such as KPMG, Lotus, IBM and VMWare, Bhat is ideally positioned to grow the company's revenue and profit.
"Logikal's skilled and experienced employees, and our ability to understand client needs and build strong relationships with them, have been a huge factor in our success, and the addition of an industry stalwart such as Ravi Bhat to the management team will only add to the value we offer our customers," says Gerald Naidoo, Group CEO.
"Ravi was previously the Regional Director for VMware for sub-Saharan Africa and Director of IBM Software business for South Africa respectively. In these roles he was responsible for delivering business growth in Africa, assisting customers with their growth objectives and for building a sustainable software organisation in the region. With this magnitude of experience, we believe he will add value in every area of our operations, and are extremely excited to have him join the team."
Bhat's decision to join Logikal Consulting was based on the company's commitment to quality, its solution offering, and its unique approach. The company has grown not only its solution suite, but its revenues and client base over the course of the past year.
"I believe that Logikal Consulting is a company that is only going to continue growing, and that its model is ideally suited to meeting the demands of customers now, and in the future. I am looking forward to helping the company reach its full potential," says Bhat.
