Business Talk – In conversation with Aptronics MD Alex Russell Subscribe Alex Russell is joint managing director at ICT service and solution provider, Aptronics, a division of iOCO. Aptronics forms part of the iOCO Compute and platform cluster of businesses, having integrated the technology solutions business of EOH with Aptronics. This merged business takes the iOCO compute and platform value proposition of datacentre – workspace – cyber security to market. Russell was formerly a managing director at EOH, and was MD at SmartAxess prior to that. He has a bachelor of business administration from the University of South Africa. As we move into a completely new age of employee engagement and the evolution of the workspace, Russell believes it is critical to build solutions around flexibility and mobility. These solutions will inter-change from an office to a home connection, with the understanding that security, redundancy, monitoring and reporting are built-in, to ensure true engagement for an organisation’s greatest assets: their people, he says.
