DIMENSION DATA MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA
We spoke to the Managing Director of Dimension Data Middle East about the future of digital business
When I ask about her experiences in the maledominated tech sector , Mechelle Buys du Plessis laughs : “ We just can ’ t balance that boardroom , can we !”. Buys du Plessis is Managing Director of Dimension Data Middle East . She has spent 22 years at the global IT services company , working in diverse areas such as marketing , client services and sales management . She became Managing Director in 2015 ; in this role she ensures Dimension Data remains an equal opportunities employer .
“ We need to make sure that we ’ re attracting and retaining the best skill and to do that we need to make sure that we ’ re providing equal opportunities to the best of the best ,” Buys du Plessis tells me . “ To me , gender doesn ’ t have a part to play when there is a global IT skills shortfall .”
