Raaziq Gamieldien
Professional Services Manager
Raaziq is our calming and competent customer-centric crusader. Each morning he’s at the door, sword and shield at the ready, and he won’t let us in until we make our daily vow to strive for exceptional levels of customer delight. This hardworking mentor to many has loads of experience across many IT disciplines and is particularly passionate about the role of Service Management in businesses. However, leave him out of an ITIL process and you get to see FOMO at its best. And the only way to placate him is with one of Mariam’s mouth-watering Gatsbys, which have become a firm (pun intended) favourite since he introduced them to the Cape Town Team.
Ryan Parumal
Professional Services Team Lead
Despite multiple plea’s from Hogwarts School of Magic, Ryan chose to join the Think Tank Pack as a Professional Services Consultant. He now uses his magic for the good of help desk and service management.
Jean Christie
Professional Services Support Manager
We have our suspicions - although not confirmed - that Jean is ex military intelligence. The heart of our operation and a certified mother hen. But let your time sheets be late and lets just say you may never be found. Sergeant Major, we salute you.
Grace Mukahamali
Accounts Aministrator
Grace materialised one day although we are still not quite sure where she came from. Some say she took a vow of silence and only breaks this vow if she has to answer the phone here at headquarters. Bets are out, but we are pretty sure she is the Stig!
