Great news, everyone!

It gives me great pleasure to share that we have a new Chief Executive Officer – Alex Kleingeld.

The transition of leadership is a significant step for any organisation, often accompanied by both excitement and uncertainty. Employees, shareholders, and customers alike look to the new CEO to understand their strategic approach and how they plan to navigate the company through the current business climate.

This is a moment of change for Evotel as we welcome Kleingeld to the hot seat, bringing fresh perspectives, the potential for innovation, and an opportunity for renewed purpose.

As the baton is passed to Kleingeld, it is important to acknowledge his accomplishments and leadership qualities. Recognised as the best sales leader, his appointment brings with it an air of optimism.

Kleingeld describes himself as a skilled and experienced sales management professional with a solid background in telecommunications.

If you’ve worked closely with him, you’ll no doubt agree—considering the number of sales managers he has mentored. Many remain under his guidance, while others are making their mark elsewhere.

He possesses advanced business and technical acumen, along with excellent qualifications that ensure a strong understanding of effective processes and systems. His ability to resolve issues and implement appropriate improvements is second to none.

Among his many attributes are highly developed analytical expertise and problem-solving skills. His time-management and organisational abilities guarantee precise attention to detail, exemplary performance under pressure, and the capability to meet tight deadlines in fast-paced environments.

Armed with a Business Studies qualification, Kleingeld has built a career spanning decades. His achievements include the prestigious Excellence Award for Top Sales Manager in the country.

The success and legacy of past leaders provide a solid foundation upon which Kleingeld can build, learn, and lead with vision and courage. The role is never easy, but with the right guidance, it presents an opportunity to create a lasting impact on the company and its people.

Since joining this brand, Kleingeld has been one of the executives who welcomed me with open arms. He went beyond his hectic schedule to guide me in the right direction—something I still hold dearly to this day.

Listening to him was the best decision I could have made.

Oh, what a great tactician and strategist!

You see, this industry is small, and everybody knows everyone. One must learn from others. Despite appearances of growth, the real players in the telecommunications circle remain the same.

For us at Evotel, this is a time for gratitude and optimism.

His ascension to the top represents not only the future of the company but also the culmination of years of hard work, collaboration, and perseverance from everyone involved—especially his fellow C-suite executives.

Let’s raise a toast to the exciting future that lies ahead. With fresh leadership at the top, there is always a renewed sense of purpose and possibility. Together, we look forward to the journey ahead, confident that Kleingeld will inspire, challenge, and lead with integrity and vision.
