Deon Scheepers, Interactive Intelligence Africa’s head of Sales and Business Development, is a man of many talents. Over the course of his 29-year career, he has successfully tackled a number of varied roles across the management, sales and technical arenas – something that looks to serve him well in a challenging new position. Scheepers’ career started at Telkom, where he was part of the team responsible for deploying South Africa’s first-ever digital network. He then went on to join Absa in the role of a senior network architect, and oversaw the development of the bank’s first contact centre. Scheepers joined ATIO in 1998, where he was later appointed head of Technology and Strategy, assuming responsibility for the strategic positioning and growth of the company’s business within the contact centre, unified communications, managed services and cloud computing markets. Scheepers has become one of the most widely respected voices in South Africa’s ICT industry, and provides widely read articles and papers to leading magazines and newspapers in his limited spare time.
