QBS Software today announced the appointment of Kerrie Steenkamp as Group Chief Operating Officer (COO), following an extensive executive search that considered candidates both inside and outside the technology distribution industry.
In this newly elevated role, Steenkamp will oversee revenue operations, process excellence, post acquisition integration and uplift, leading multifunctional teams across the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Turkey, Hungary, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. She will report directly to Group CEO Dave Stevinson and work in close partnership with the Group CCO and CRO as QBS advances its next phase of operational scale and sophistication.
“Kerrie was the standout candidate and her deep channel knowledge combined with her tenacity made her the preferred candidate for this most critical role,” said Dave Stevinson, CEO of QBS Software. “Her leadership will be instrumental as we build a world-class operating engine to support our expanding vendor portfolio and rapidly growing global footprint.”
Steenkamp joins QBS with over 20 years of leadership experience in the technology channel, most recently heading the EMEA supply chain function at Insight. She will be based out of the Alderley Edge headquarters, working closely with teams in Johannesburg and across the wider QBS organisation.
“I have had over 2 decades at Insight, and the opportunity at QBS makes absolute sense to progress my career. It is a role that will be intellectually challenging and one that I am confident that I will excel at,” said Kerrie Steenkamp.
QBS continues to scale rapidly, combining double-digit organic growth with a disciplined programme of strategic acquisitions. Positioned as a software delivery platform, QBS blends long-tail software distribution with a value-added distribution capability, enabling vendors and partners to access a unified EMEA-wide channel engine. Today, QBS operates in 20 countries with nearly 500 employees.
With Steenkamp’s appointment, QBS reinforces its commitment to building a high-performance international operations backbone that supports sustainable growth, operational excellence, and vendor success at global scale.
