Please join us in welcoming Jan van Niekerk to Netsurit as our Senior Vice President: Data & AI Strategy within the Automate team! 🚀
Jan brings extensive global experience in data, analytics, automation, and AI, helping organisations translate strategy into measurable commercial outcomes. With a Ph.D. in AI and an Executive MBA, he will focus on scaling Innovate — enabling clients to move from ideas to implemented value through a repeatable innovation cadence.
Here’s what Jan shared about her Netsurit journey so far:
"The best part about working at Netsurit so far has been the people, the talent is real, and there’s a genuine hunger to deliver value that clients can feel. It’s not 'slideware' culture. The team leans into problems, takes ownership, and pushes to get to outcomes, whether that’s unblocking a client, improving delivery, or finding a smarter way to do the work.
What I’ve also enjoyed is how collaborative it is. You can pull the right people into a conversation quickly, get honest input, and move from idea to action without layers of friction. That pace, combined with a strong service mindset, makes it a great environment to build in.
And if I’m being cheeky, the opportunity is huge because there’s still plenty of efficiency to create in how we do things. That’s the fun part. We can tighten the playbooks, automate the repeatable bits, standardise what should be standard, and scale the impact without scaling the effort in the same way."
Welcome to the team, Jan — we’re thrilled to have you on board and can’t wait for the impact ahead!
