Vertiv, a global leader in digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has restructured its African operations to strengthen market outreach and improve customer relationships across the continent
The company has reorganised its operations into four focused regional clusters, each under the leadership of experienced regional directors:
Northwest Africa – Led by Zineb Kamri from Casablanca, Morocco
Northeast Africa – Headed by Ehab El Hefnawy in Cairo, Egypt
Central-Southern Africa – Managed by Gary Chomse in Johannesburg, South Africa, with operational support from Lagos, Nigeria
Eastern Africa – Overseen by Rohan Patil in Nairobi, Kenya
Each of these directors reports to Wojtek Piorko, Vertiv’s managing director for Africa. With deep-rooted experience and leadership within the company, they bring extensive knowledge of regional dynamics and customer needs. The restructure is designed to build stronger connections with partners and clients, ensuring faster service delivery and enhanced support through better deployment of solutions, training, and technical expertise.
Sharpening regional agility
“This strategic move positions Vertiv closer to its local customers, enabling a deeper understanding of their unique needs and a more effective response to local market dynamics within each region,” explained Piorko. “It will also facilitate the strategic alignment of resource investments with market growth and customer expectations.”
Piorko continued, “By enhancing our regional presence, Vertiv aims to support African businesses in their digital transformation journeys, providing them with access to experienced experts and a broad portfolio of power, cooling, IT management and services solutions to help accelerate the growth of compute in the region.”
