Finance and Administration

Rozan has rapidly got to grips with how Xero interfaces directly with Acello to record Salt techies’ work and Receipt Bank which can digitalise and transcribe expenses
Data Centre and IT Services
Arno Delport
Arno has been with Salt from 2010 with more that 20 years of experience. He is the Technology Centre Manager and drives the technical team to perfection. His path through the company has moved from Technical to Sales to Customer Relationship Management and now back to Technical. He’s drive is to ensure customer satisfaction and the well being of Salt’s Data Centres. His team members are Frans Herle, George Groenewald, Ivan Musuuo, Leonard Le Roux, Peter-George Mannel and Selma Uushini.
Customer Relationship Manager
Peter Müller
Peter was part of the team who set up the original Logical Networks, which morphed into Salt in 2008. After a 4 year stint as MD, Peter now looks after his original passion: Customers. He has always seen his role as bridging the “techies” who talk their own language and the customers who have particular IT problems to solve but don’t necessarily know the best options to consider. His Customer Service desk, project management and IT academic backgrounds are enabling him to steer Salt to greater heights even though the economy is tough for all.
Managing Director
Sonja Coetzer
Sonja was appointed as MD in 2020. She fell into IT over 20 years ago, and had her first exposure to the love of her life when she met Windows 3.1. She grasped the infinite power ICT products and solutions could offer to change lives for the better and of course like any other marriage, for the worse. Sonja is passionate about IT and in particular Microsoft, and will take every moment and opportunity to apply it to her every day life and customers’ environment. By nature, Sonja is a sales specialist, and after a long stint as our Solutions Advocate, she is now responsible for the next phase of Salt’s business growth. “I am honoured to work with such a brilliant, forward thinking team who embraces a Cloud first model, delivering smart yet effective solutions to our clients.”
