IT News Africa’s Managing Director, Abe Wakama interviews Business Connexion (BCX) CEO, Isaac Mophatlane. During the interview, Mophatlane discusses the origins of BCX, the looming Telkom deal, as well as the future of BCX.
In 1996, Isaac co-founded the former Business Connection, a computer reseller focused on Government and parastatals with his twin brother, Benjamin, which subsequently merged with Seattle Solutions in 2001. In 2004, the company again merged with Comparex Africa and he was appointed Group Executive: Client Engagement – Public Sector.
His strong leadership qualities saw Isaac heading up the Innovation division which consisted of Business Connexin’s own software and packaged intellectual property.
In 2013, Isaac was appointed Group Executive for Canoa SA which Business Connexion acquired in 2011. This acquisition helped the group to fulfill its strategy on establishing it as a convergence player with capabilities in the previously distinct areas of content, printing, telecommunications and information technology.
In his current position as Chief Executive Officer, Isaac’s extensive knowledge of Business Connexion and his successful track record in increasing revenue will provide key direction to the Group’s overall sales and marketing strategy.
