Saki Missaikos, the new MD at Internet Solutions (IS), isn’t really a fan of the limelight. He’s more of a back-room person, happiest when he’s fiddling with complex networks and figuring out how things work. “I’m very boring,” he says, as he bites into a plain croissant at Tasha’s café, the home-from-home for Dimension Data and IS staff.

Boring isn’t the right word really. Intense, perhaps, when he’s talking passionately about rolling out internet access to everyone across the country. Detailed too, as he recounts stories from the past that prepared him to take over as MD.
