Andile Bota, Enterprise Account Executive, Qlik

Andile Bota helps organisations turn raw data into actionable insights – fast, securely, and at scale.

With more than 15 years of experience in information technology across Africa, Andile has worked extensively with leading banks, telecommunications providers, mining groups, and manufacturers to help them harness data for growth and innovation. Prior to joining Qlik, he held key roles at IBM and Oracle, gaining deep expertise across the data ecosystem – from platform architecture to advanced analytics and business outcomes.

Over the past decade, Andile’s focus has been on driving value from data, helping organisations establish strong integration foundations and unlock new opportunities through predictive and prescriptive analytics. One of his career highlights includes leading a predictive AI project that not only forecasted customer churn but also prevented it by building “what-if” scenarios that identified retention and upsell opportunities.

Known for his strategic insight and customer-centric approach, Andile continues to help enterprises across South Africa realise the power of data – enabling them to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions with Qlik’s end-to-end data and AI solutions.
