Green is proud to expand Ilana Erasmus’ role as she leads our strategic growth into Namibia’s oil and gas sector.
As activity in the Orange Basin gains momentum, secure and reliable digital infrastructure will be essential. With more than two decades of ICT experience, Ilana will help Green deliver connectivity, cybersecurity, cloud integration, scalable infrastructure and 24/7 local support to energy operators.
This is about more than enabling operations—it is about building sustainable digital capacity, strengthening local participation and creating lasting value for Namibia.
Thank you to Namibia Energy and Water Focus for the feature.

Namibia’s emerging oil and gas industry is opening opportunities beyond exploration and production, with international oil companies (IOCs) and their suppliers preparing for potential Final Investment Decisions in the Orange Basin.
As activity gathers momentum, demand is growing for local companies capable of providing the technology and infrastructure required by sophisticated energy operations.
Green Enterprise Solutions (Green) is positioning itself for this opportunity by expanding the role of ICT veteran Ilana Erasmus to lead its strategic expansion into Namibia’s oil and gas sector.
The move follows discussions at the recent Namibia Oil and Gas Conference, which highlighted the importance of partnerships between Namibian businesses and international companies entering the market.
Erasmus, who has more than two decades of ICT experience and has served as Green’s Sales Manager since 2015, will spearhead the company’s efforts to provide turnkey, “plug-and-play” ICT infrastructure for energy operators.
“Modern oil and gas operations are entirely intertwined with technology, from seismic data analytics to Industrial Control Systems,” said Green Managing Director Kehad Snydewel.
“When global enterprises land on Namibian soil, they cannot afford months of delay building digital ecosystems from scratch.”
Green’s offering includes connectivity linking local operations to international headquarters, 24/7 technical support, cybersecurity, cloud integration and scalable infrastructure designed to grow from exploration through production.
As a 100% Namibian-owned company founded in 2010, Green sees local knowledge and compliance as competitive advantages.
Its cybersecurity solutions are designed to protect increasingly connected energy infrastructure, while local expertise supports technology adoption and training.
For Erasmus, the expanded mandate comes at a pivotal moment for Namibia.
“By bringing world-class, localised digital infrastructure to arriving operators, we not only ensure seamless continuity for our partners but also build sustainable digital capacity within Namibia,” she said.
Green’s strategy reflects a broader reality: Namibia’s oil and gas opportunity will require more than offshore investment.
It will also depend on a capable domestic ecosystem of technology, services and infrastructure providers able to connect global energy companies to the Namibian economy.
