New to Kyocera Document Solutions South Africa is Hardware Product Manager, Davy Khonzani. She will manage the product life cycle of Kyocera's complete hardware range, ensuring suitable products are launched into the channel, with the appropriate price positioning. Her expertise, gained over five years as a technician and field engineer for Gestetner South Africa, will stand her in good stead in performing this function with skill and value.

One of the key responsibilities in Khonzani's portfolio will be to propose vertical solutions for both devices and software, in an effort to address specific challenges identified. She will serve in an advisory capacity to exco regarding market and industry trends and requirements, in order that the company may align its marketing and sales strategy, as well as its product offerings, accordingly.
