Dominic Arewa-Bothma

I am a GM-level leader who thrives at the intersection of technical infrastructure and commercial growth. My professional foundation was built in the Royal Military Police, where I learned that discipline and clear governance aren't just about rules—they are the key to scaling complex teams and stabilizing high-pressure environments.

I describe myself as a "business + tech" architect. Whether it’s in-housing IT operations to save costs, leading a global Zoho One rollout, or engineering a marketing funnel that actually converts, I focus on systems that make sense for the people using them. What started as a personal mission to tackle e-waste grew into a non-profit I founded from the ground up; today, I use that same entrepreneurial energy to help international brands turn their sustainability goals into real-world operational results.

CORE COMPETENCIES

Strategic IT & Operations: I don't just manage tech; I build it into the business DNA. I’ve specialized in taking messy, outsourced IT setups and turning them into streamlined, in-house engines ready for rapid scaling or corporate listings.

Digital Transformation with a Human Touch: I lead massive system changes—like global Zoho One or ERP implementations—by focusing on user adoption and "zero-friction" transitions so the business never skips a beat.

Risk & Compliance without the Red Tape: My approach to GDPR, POPI, and ISO 27001 is practical. I build compliance directly into the workflow, making it a natural part of the day-to-day rather than a hurdle.

A "Hobby-Turned-Career" in ESG: I founded an e-waste NPC alone, which gave me a raw, first-hand understanding of social impact. I now bring that perspective to international brands, helping them bridge the gap between "corporate talk" and genuine sustainability.

RMP-Disciplined Leadership: I manage multi-disciplinary global teams (12+ reports) with the accountability and calm of a military veteran. I believe in clear communication, high standards, and empowering people to own their results.
