Chief Operating Officer

Collin Govender
Group Chief Operating Officer

Having first joined Altron as Group Executive for Shared Services, Collin Govender is known for his strategic and highly pragmatic approach to leadership and an innate ability to help others realise their full potential.
 
Instead of following a conventional route into enterprise IT, Collin entered the workforce with a Durban-based logistics company, where he was tasked with everything from running cables to building networks and developing code. He later moved to Johannesburg, where he spent 17 years at T-Systems, a German multinational IT services and consulting company.

Looking ahead, Collin is focused on connecting individuals with their purpose in the new digital environment – and finding ways to align purpose with sustainable business practices.

Altron Group Executive
Legal

Hansie Schutte
Altron Group Executive Legal

Hansie Schutte brings a wealth of legal expertise to Altron, with more than 30 years of corporate and commercial legal experience.

Hansie began his Altron career in 1991, where he held various positions at senior management and executive levels until 2001 when he left to pursue a career in legal counsel for the information and communication technology and mining industries. 

But we just knew he’d be back. And in June 2011, he proved us right by rejoining Altech. When Altech was delisted, he moved to Altron’s legal department.

He is a past chairman of the Altron Young President’s Club, and in 2015, he won the Altron Chairman’s Distinguished Merit Award for his outstanding contribution to the company. Hansie holds a B Comm and an LLB and is an admitted advocate of the High Court of South Africa.

Company Secretary

Mbali Ngcobo
Company Secretary 

Compliance is an integral part of a successful business, and we are grateful to have someone as exceptional as Mbali Ngcobo to guide us.

Mbali is an admitted attorney of the High Court of South Africa with many years of corporate law and company secretarial experience.

She has served in various capacities in listed companies, including Massmart, where she was the Legal Counsel-Company Secretarial Manager. Still, the lure of working for South Africa's original technology brand was too great, and we welcomed Mbali to the leadership team in November 2021.  

Mbali holds a Bachelor of Law from the University of KwaZulu-Natal and a Masters in Corporate Law from the University of Pretoria.
