Bio
Siyanda Ndzuzo
Babs, one of the greatest young leaders I've ever worked with. He stands by his team and works super hard!! I've gained so much respect for his work ethic and his commitment to anything he does!!
Paolo Stermin
Operating with courage, integrity and accountability, this management professional is a technologist by trade and leader at heart. I have had the pleasure of working alongside Babalo for a year now, and have been particularly impressed with the way he enables, leads and supports his team to perform to the best of their ability. Babalo has a deep technical understand of the DevOps landscape, allowing him to take a hands on approach when required, which enables him to lead from the front. From the moment Babalo joined the aYo business, a sense of stability was instilled within the organisation. Together with the support of his team, they have made numerous, incremental changes for the better, that has enabled the business to operate and run a little smoother, as each day has gone by. I would highly recommend Babalo, and would welcome the chance to work with him again in future.
