Catch Mr. Nitesh Marcel Singh in conversation with Mr. Mohammed Thoufiq with #ICSATalks as
a part of the upcoming 2nd Edition of Connected Africa Summit happening on the 29th
September 2022, organised by the International Center For Strategic Alliances.
Nitesh Singh believes that digital transformation is an exciting field to be in as more and
more companies are building a digital footprint or touchpoints with their customers, and
software development is being used to solve the world’s problems. Digital marketplaces will
disrupt major industries over the coming years, which is why he is passionate about turning
digital investments into financial and business outcomes for his clients. He emphasizes that
to be high performing companies, they need to transform.
Over the last 20 years, Nitesh has become an authority on driving digital transformation at
large telco and media businesses across the African continent, including Nigeria, Kenya,
Botswana and Zambia, among others, with specialist skills in contracting and governance
processes associated with complex projects.
His open mindset, entrepreneurial skills, agile thinking, and global transformation capabilities
led Nitesh to join Accenture in the latter part of 2005, where he could be at the cutting edge
of digital transformation and be accountable for the delivery of large-scale revenue
generation, cost containment and right sizing, enabling top and bottom-line growth for
captains of industry across the continent. Nitesh holds firm that moving to digital is essential
to remaining relevant, whether you are a small mom and pop shop or a large organisation.
His role at Accenture includes sharing industry trends with clients and partnering with them
on developing their growth agenda and where they should focus their energy. This includes
providing advice on the impact of the coming 4IR, disruptive business models and the need
to rotate the business to the "new" – cloud, digital, next generation e-commerce, security,
artificial intelligence (AI) and big data. An important leadership skill which helps Nitesh with
this integration is his ability to traverse quickly between what his clients need and relating
what the North Star looks like to his internal team.
Major achievements include leading an assessment across 23 African operations, focused
on process and technology effectiveness (2019-2020); and becoming the first Master
Technological Architect in Accenture’s African practice, making him a member of an elite
team of global executives that hold this qualification within the global practice. Nitesh has
been invited as a moderator and speaker at industry events such as AfricaCom and holds a
bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology and Business Information Systems from the
University of KwaZulu-Natal.
