For 15 years, Green Enterprise Solutions has been at the forefront of Namibia’s digital transformation journey. Under the leadership of Kehad Snydewel, Managing Director of the company, Green has grown from a small start-up into a technology powerhouse employing more than 100 professionals. Today, the company is not only reshaping Namibia’s ICT landscape but also making inroads into Southern Africa and beyond.



Founded in 2010, Green Enterprise Solutions was born out of the vision to establish a truly Namibian technology company capable of driving innovation. Snydewel explains, “We wanted to create a Namibian powerhouse when it comes to technology, innovation, and really drive the digital aspect of where the world is moving to.” What started with just two individuals has since transformed into a thriving organization housed at the iconic old power station building, now taking up entire floors. Initially, the company focused on infrastructure such as data centers, servers, networking, and storage systems. By 2011, Green expanded into software development, offering customized enterprise solutions tailored to client needs. This shift allowed the business to add greater value by helping organizations achieve their objectives through technology. Today, Green develops not only tailored systems but also its own products and platforms designed to service Namibia and the world. Talent development has been central to Green’s success.



The company invests heavily in education and training, ensuring its employees have access to certifications from global partners like Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM. Snydewel notes, “We don’t have a budget on education,” emphasizing that upskilling is seen as an ongoing necessity, not an expense.



His own journey is a testament to this culture. He began as an intern, rose through the technical ranks, and eventually became Managing Director of Green. Green’s approach to recruitment is equally people-focused. The company values attitude above all else, believing technical skills can be taught, but the right mindset cannot.



Partnerships with universities ensure access to top talent, while a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion promotes opportunities for women in technical and leadership roles

Looking ahead, Green Enterprise Solutions is aligning closely with Namibia’s Vision 2030 and national digital transformation strategies.



The company works hand in hand with the Ministry of ICT and other stakeholders to ensure compliance with national policies while contributing its expertise to shape frameworks for the future. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and cloud services form a critical part of Green’s growth outlook.



Snydewel believes that AI and emerging intelligent platforms beyond the cloud will continue to redefine efficiency and innovation. At its heart, Green Enterprise Solutions is not just a technology company. It is a training ground for innovators and leaders.



As Snydewel puts it, every employee is treated as a partner in driving the business forward, from interns to senior executives. This philosophy ensures that Green continues to live up to its founding mission: building a Namibian organization capable of making a lasting impact locally, regionally, and globally.
