We are firm believers in the African continent and her people. Zimbabwe is our first foray into growing our footprint further under the African sun. The education system, the warmth of the people and the proximity to South Africa means that it was a no-brainer to look at Zim for potential talent. We view this business as a talent supplement to the rest of our operations, rather than actively pursuing customers in Zimbabwe. Continue Growing We Do
Doug’s been dabbling with software development for over 18 years. These days he enjoys helping good development teams become great development teams. When the realities of life become too much, he cracks open an IDE and writes a few lines of code. Armed with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science and Information Systems from Rhodes University, Doug has worked on service-oriented architectures and front-end portals utilising various languages, technologies, and frameworks, from C and C++ to Ruby, .NET, Spring and Java EE. When he’s not spending time with family, enjoying the outdoors or taking photographs, he’s probably reading a book or trying to learn some new software language or framework. Remember to ask him what it was like coding using punchcards, or anything else UK-related on doug@entelect.co.uk. DOUG | MANAGING DIRECTOR
BEN | MANAGER
We opened offices in the UK in 2021 as part of our ongoing expansion across the globe. Like all our international businesses, we are still growing and therefore generally look for people with more seniority. This allows us to build from a solid base in a new market before accelerating growth. The UK is full of history, and London is a wonderfully cosmopolitan city where there is so much to explore.
Ben helps to lead our Zimbabwean office, where he is passionate about hiring talented people and giving them a sense of belonging and purpose as they grow and contribute towards customer success. Being a technologist at heart with a passion for DevSecOps, Ben joined Entelect in 2015 after extensive experience in the eCommerce, banking, and healthcare industries. His leadership style is marked by his genuine care for his team and interest in seeing them flourish in their roles. As a dedicated family man and dad to two little girls, Ben doesn’t get too much downtime, but when he does it’s spent behind the camera – he’s even shot two weddings! While his day-to-day is spent managing the ins and out of a developing branch, he’ll still grab the opportunity to write a quick script when he can. Challenge Ben to a chess game – he claims to be ‘just ok’ but we’re not sure we believe that.
