Johannesburg, 10 Oct 2022
Global software and solutions company DVT, a Dynamic Technologies group company, has appointed Karel Saurwalt as Managing Director of DVT in the Netherlands.
Saurwalt’s appointment will help DVT’s rapidly expanding European footprint, while further advancing its growth in the Netherlands and the broader Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) region.
Saurwalt has experience building SaaS (software as a service) start- and scale-ups within the Microsoft Ecosystem and he understands the struggles of scaling development teams – and how to overcome these. His experience in IT includes assisting companies with hyper-scaling, building scalable development teams to achieve optimum performance and cost, and implementing new technologies. His appointment means DVT will have enhanced capabilities to service more customers in Benelux, with a team of agile local and remote professionals.
"Karel is a great addition to the DVT leadership team and has a wealth of experience growing IT businesses in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is an important market for DVT in our continued global expansion," says DVT CEO Jaco van der Merwe.
Chris Wilkins, CEO of the Dynamic Technologies Group, says: “Karel will lead DVT’s Netherlands expansion and further extend DVT’s client base and staff complement in the Benelux region. We will be able to offer our clients the depth, scale and reliability of a global software solutions provider at competitive prices, backed up by similar time zones to Europe, and fewer cultural and language differences.”
For Saurwalt , the goal is to bring DVT’s renowned high-quality services and solutions for the SME and enterprise segments to the Benelux market.
He says: “We believe that with our highly-skilled staff we can enable all sorts of organisations to achieve their next step in business growth, most notably by supporting them with their IT and development challenges. We will be the number one software development partner for the customer within the next five years in the Netherlands.”
Dynamic Technologies is a global software technologies and related services group with offices and representation in the UK (London, Scotland and Ireland), Europe (Switzerland, the Netherlands), Africa (South Africa and Kenya), and the USA (San Francisco).
