iOCO

Extraordinary careers do not happen by accident. They are built deliberately, intentionally, and with clear purpose.

South Africa's most future-ready young professionals are not waiting for opportunity to find them. They know exactly what they want, and precisely what skills they need to get there.

Today we celebrate something bigger than a public holiday. We celebrate the ambition, resilience, and potential of South Africa's next generation of tech professionals.

To every young professional on the journey: keep going. Keep learning. Keep building.

Happy Youth Day 🇿🇦

We are thrilled to welcome Hendrik Blignaut to iOCO as our new Commercial Executive for iOCO IT Services.

Hendrik joins us with over 30 years of experience leading commercial growth across the ICT landscape, including more than 20 years at Altron, where he developed deep sector expertise and a proven ability to deliver at scale. His track record speaks for itself: from reviving loss-making operations to building lasting partnerships with leading banks, telcos, and global OEMs, he consistently delivers outcomes that matter.

His expertise spans data, AI, cloud, security, and SaaS-driven business models, backed by deep experience in go-to-market strategy, high-value deal structuring, and ecosystem development. He is also known for bringing clarity to complexity and aligning teams around commercially focused outcomes, which is exactly the kind of leadership that drives lasting results.

As iOCO continues to scale, Hendrik's experience and approach will play a key role in driving sustainable growth and strengthening our position in the market.

Welcome to the team, Hendrik. We are glad to have you.

On 27 April 1994, South Africans voted as equals for the first time. It was a defining moment in our democracy and in the future we chose to build together.

Thirty-two years later, that future is still being shaped, in the businesses we build, the teams we grow, the skills we share, and the doors we choose to open for one another.

Freedom was never a destination.
It is something we keep creating, together, every single day.

To every South African today: the work is worth doing, and we are better for doing it together.

Happy Freedom Day.

At iOCO, creating spaces where women can grow, connect, and explore technology together is an important part of building a more inclusive industry.

We recently hosted a Tech Her Way session, continuing the momentum from the launch earlier this year. This women-focused initiative is designed to drive confidence, community, and inclusive growth in technology.

A big thank you to Michael Brink (Chief Technology Officer, CASA Software), who joined us as the guest speaker and shared fascinating insights on AI in Daily Life. From practical examples of how AI is already shaping the way we work and live, to thought-provoking discussions about what the future may hold, the session sparked great curiosity and conversation among the ladies.

Tech Her Way continues to create a platform where women can learn, ask questions, and engage with technology in a supportive environment.

Looking forward to many more inspiring conversations ahead.
