Who Pieter Is

An industrial technology executive built for complexity.

Pieter Oosthuizen is a Group Chief Information & Technology Officer and Group Exco member with executive accountability for digital, data, ERP, cybersecurity, business improvement and innovation across a global industrial business.

His career spans mining, resources, manufacturing, industrial services, retail and government — environments where decisions carry operational, financial and human consequence.

What He Believes

Technology only creates value when the business owns the outcome.

Innovation is sparked with purpose, using emerging technology and data to shift competitive position — not just optimise what already exists.

Infrastructure is the backbone of resilience, not a back-office function. Digitalisation, data, AI and cybersecurity are boardroom imperatives.

How He Leads

Clarity, cadence and conviction.

Pieter brings disciplined operating cadence to executive teams: clear decision rights, transparent value tracking, and a relentless focus on the outcomes the business committed to deliver.

He partners across Operations, Engineering, Manufacturing, Projects, Supply Chain, Commercial, Finance, HR and Risk — translating ambition into structured execution.

Where He Creates Value

Connecting strategy to measurable execution.

Long-term business sustainability and resilience. Executive ownership of technology outcomes. Global programmes that land — and stay landed.

He has architected Centres of Excellence, Global ERP Competence Centres, AI governance frameworks, and the operating models that allow industrial organisations to scale capability with discipline.

Technology only creates value when the business owns the outcome.
