About me
I am a seasoned ICT practitioner with over 17 years experience in the African and Global ICT space. I am a strong believer in ICTs being a key catalyst in the improvement of the socioeconomic state of individuals and organizations and I’m passionate about the efficient adoption of ICTs. In my many years of working with customers and consumers of ICT services, I have seen how ICT can transform organizations both as an enabler to the organizations business and ICT as a business opportunity leading to new approaches to how companies define and offer services.
I have extensive local and global knowledge of technology trends and engineering expertise and I am cognizant of the revolutionary power of Emerging Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Internet of Things (IoT), Hyperscale computing, Blockchain and Big Data will have on how businesses create and transfer value.
I have worked with many organizations in various capacities to transform how they create and offer value through the use of technology specifically in:
- Technology investment decisions for both in-house and service/value delivery to customers
- Design and implementation of various technology systems and services
- Technology process and policy formulation
- Technology systems audit and appraisal against objectives and standards
- Knowledge transfer through bespoke technology training for all audiences including the board
The need to understand emerging technologies and their impact on business is no longer the forte of the IT manager or CIO but is also a concern in many boardrooms today. My advisory and training services future-proof business processes and their ability to create and transfer value to their customers. Speak to me today at info@tommakau.com to start your journey towards informed technology decision making and preparing your organization for the future.
On many occasions my informed opinion on technology has been sought by both industry leaders and the media houses and publications such as the BBC, Nation media, Standard Media Group, CIO, ITWeb Africa and many more.
