WHO WE ARE
WHO WE ARE | TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER
TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER |
TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER! OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM.
Each member has grown with the company with many of them starting their careers at Entelect. In fact, most were developers or analysts, and this means they have a real understanding of the day-to-day challenges the people of Entelect face. Approachable, down-to-earth personalities combined with an open-door policy and flat management structure help to ensure that we stay true to our culture. The biggest contributor to that culture, though, is that the company’s leadership knows every individual within the company and puts a lot of time and effort into maintaining and growing those individual relationships.
SHASHI | CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Daniel graduated from UCT in 2007 with a BSc in IT and Computer Engineering. He built strong Java and .NET skills, then an affinity for people and relationships set him on a path through delivery and operations into senior leadership. He's now spent over fifteen years at Entelect. As Chief Customer Officer, he connects customer strategy with hands-on delivery, known for building trusted, enduring partnerships. Outside work, Daniel is a devoted father, a committed gym-goer and occasional squash player, working diligently towards becoming Entelect's first Bitcoin millionaire. Reports are pending. DANIEL | CHIEF CUSTOMER OFFICER Matthew joined Entelect straight from varsity, after completing his BSc IT (Hons) cum laude at UJ. He's spent his whole career growing within the business, from graduate Software Engineer to CTO. That journey has given him a deep understanding of complex delivery environments. As CTO, he oversees delivery management, building exceptional teams and translating complex needs into clear technology strategies. Known for strong opinions and a talent for galvanising people, when he's not shaping strategy you'll find him correcting grammar or defending his DOTA 2 title at Entelect's LAN evenings. MATTHEW | CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER Yatish graduated from Wits with a BSc in Electrical Engineering in 2005, and joined Entelect the same year. He worked across projects as a Software Engineer and later Team Lead, before moving into General Management in 2010. He was appointed Chief People Officer in 2016. At the end of 2017, he took on a new challenge: heading up Entelect's first international branch in New Zealand, and later helping kick off the Australian business in 2021. Now Chief Regional Officer: ANZ, Yatish plays a greater role in shaping Entelect's global strategy and how we work across borders and time zones. Ask him about fishing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, cold water plunges or his devotion to a toasted chicken mayo sandwich. YATISH | CHIEF REGIONAL OFFICER: ANZ
Shashi holds a Master's in Software Engineering from Wits. He joined Entelect in April 2005 as a junior developer, analyst, project manager, salesperson and consultant, willing to do whatever it took. That mindset has defined his leadership ever since. As CEO, he's built Entelect into a globally recognised technology partner through empowered teams and strong engineering foundations, earning Best Place to Work and Fastest Growing Company awards. His proudest moments, though, are the growth stories of Entelect's people. Outside work, he enjoys wildlife, nature and the occasional game of soccer. Ask him how he wrecked his Alfa Romeo in the car park.
SHELDON | GENERAL MANAGER Sheldon joined Entelect in 2007, after completing his Electrical Engineering degree at Wits. He spent his early years learning how technology could add value across very different businesses. Nearly two decades on, he's one of Entelect's most versatile leaders, spanning software delivery, systems design, architecture, talent development and organisational leadership. As GM, he's focused on developing the people and capabilities behind exceptional customer outcomes. His work has earned international recognition through a top award at the Future of HR Awards. Outside work, his passion is rock climbing. And talking about rock climbing.
Aline qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2005. She then took an unexpected turn into heading up an IT Project Management Office. There, she discovered her mix of finance, process and IT knowledge was something of a superpower. That breadth has shaped her career since, spanning auditing, governance, risk, compliance and business transformation. As GM, she leads Entelect's finance function, helping clients navigate change with confidence. Milestones under her watch include recognition in the Financial Times Africa's Fastest Growing Companies rankings and the Standard Bank Top Women Awards. Outside work, Aline is a budding artist, though her son says she has room to improve, and may one day admit to having played in a band. We have theories about the instrument. ALINE | GENERAL MANAGER TOMISLAV | GENERAL MANAGER Tomislav graduated cum laude from UNISA with a BSc in Computer Science in 2007, while holding down a full- time job at a software consultancy. He began his career building software across Casino, Mining, Retail and Insurance. His passion for people then saw him move into senior leadership. As GM, he shapes the people strategy behind Entelect's long-term growth, bridging business strategy, engineering craft and human potential. Outside work, you'll find him on the golf course, doing his best thinking or his best complaining, depending on the round.
TIM | CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
After graduating from UCT with a BSc in Computer Science, Tim briefly pursued a professional music career in Gauteng before concluding that music doesn't always pay the rent. He joined Entelect in 2007 as a graduate Software Engineer and has spent nearly two decades growing with the business, through delivery, sales, account management, strategy, and into executive leadership. As Chief Operating Officer, Tim leads Entelect's operational and delivery functions with a strong emphasis on reliability, accountability, and sustainable customer success. Known for his pragmatic, execution-focused style, he is particularly recognised for stepping into difficult situations, solving problems decisively, and helping teams regain momentum when it matters most. He has played a central role in growing Entelect into an international technology consultancy of more than 2,000 people across multiple countries. Outside of work, Tim remains an avid surfer and travels regularly in pursuit of exotic waves.
RYAN | GENERAL MANAGER
Ryan has spent almost two decades designing, developing and implementing database and Business Intelligence solutions. He joined Entelect in 2007 as a Data Solutions Engineer, and was promoted in 2014 to head the Data Solutions Division. There, he drives commercial and operational integration through data-led decision making. His hobbies range from cycling and golf to collecting (or hoarding) antiques and geek collectables. Feel free to give him grief about the Justin Bieber obsession.
