Habib Mahakian has been appointed as Vice President and Managing Director for Dell Technologies South Africa, expanding on his current role as VP for Emerging Markets. Known for his deep experience across the continent and strong customer focus, Habib brings valuable insight into how AI, hybrid cloud, and secure infrastructure can drive real impact. As South Africa embraces digital transformation, Habib is well-placed to lead Dell’s mission of innovation and growth in the region.
At a time when #AI and #digitaltransformation are reshaping industries across South Africa, Dell is ideally positioned to support businesses on their journey to innovation and impact. I’m excited to lead our local teams in delivering AI-driven solutions that empower organizations to work smarter, more efficiently, and more sustainably. In emerging economies like South Africa, technology isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s the backbone of economic growth. And having worked with customers across Africa, I’ve seen first-hand how AI, hybrid cloud, edge, data management and secure infrastructure have become essential tools for driving business resilience and competitive advantage. In fact McKinsey & Company estimates that the deployment of #GenAI across Africa could unlock between $61B-$103B in economic value, with AI already powering sectors like agriculture, healthcare, banking and more – underlining that now is the moment to scale up AI. I want to extend my thanks to Mohammed Amin , Adrian McDonald and our global leadership team for their confidence in our mission. As Dell continues to drive innovation, our purpose in South Africa is clear: through AI and digital innovation, we will empower businesses, communities, and the next generation of leaders to thrive. I’m looking forward to connecting with our customers and partners to explore how we can continue to shape the future of AI together in South Africa. #DellTechnologies #Leadership #SouthAfrica #AI #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Sustainability #AIforGood #Partnerships #iwork4dell
