JSE-listed technology company Altron has appointed Collin Govender as MD of Altron Systems Integration, effective October 1.

Govender joined Altron in June 2017 as shared services group executive, after which he served as group chief information officer before being appointed as Altron Karabina MD in January 2021, where he successfully turned the business around over the past 18 months.

In his new role, he will retain oversight of Altron Karabina, putting an operational structure in place to ensure the continued growth trajectory of the business.

“Collin is a highly respected leader, and this appointment signals our intention to reshape our digital transformation business. Altron Systems Integration is central to this plan which will enable us to optimally deliver security, data and cloud solutions and services to our customers,” Altron Group CEO Werner Kapp says.

Govender drove the restructuring of Altron Karabina to simplify the operating model and renegotiated troubled contracts to bring it back to profitability yielding 47% growth in revenue and 200% in operating income in the last financial year.

He has more than 25 years of experience and joined Altron from a German multinational where he was sales and service management VP.

“Over the years, he has acquired exposure in many business areas and has driven turnarounds in systems integration, human resources, application development and outsourcing,” the company says.

Govender has completed an executive programme through Harvard Business School and attended several executive development programmes run by Deutsche Telkom.
