Jacques Fouché, CEO of Inspired Testing
Inspired Testing, a Dynamic Technologies group company, is a proud member of The Lekker Network (TLN). Showcasing the extraordinary journeys of South African businesspeople across multiple industries, TLN celebrates those who have excelled in business, entrepreneurship and innovation around the world – those truly inspiring locals who have changed the business world – and they’ve recently published a series of books to share these stories.
Released this month in South Africa, TLN’s South African version of Winning the Away Game features Inspired Testing’s story, alongside other notable South African individuals and businesses. This book ties into TLN’s goal to connect South Africans locally and internationally on both professional and social levels.
The aim is to build a global community that supports South African businesses and professionals through meaningful connections and valuable resources. It’s networking at the highest level, actively building opportunities for funding, new market access and professional growth for those based in South Africa. At the recent book launches in London, Johannesburg, and Somerset West, that South African spirit and networking drive was clearly evident!
Jacques Fouché, CEO of Inspired Testing, says, “As global change continues to challenge the status quo, we’re helping clients build software that sustains and strengthens their humanity and productivity.” Jacques knows that one of the keys to Inspired Testing’s success is its Mzansi heart, supporting fellow Saffas overseas, collaborating with like-minded companies and never shying away from sharing knowledge.
“We believe in lifting others as we climb,” says Jacques. “If we can open doors, make introductions or simply offer advice, we’re at TLN for that. We’re building a global legacy and want others to be part of it.” Investing in future talent is something the company believes in deeply and, through the Inspired Academy, is continuously training the next generation of testing talent.
Originally a Cape Town-based business, Inspired Testing’s bold approach and South African sensibilities have seen their reach grow globally. Now headquartered in London, the company is going from strength to strength, building strong relationships with smaller local partners and global giants while delivering on its promise to ‘make way for potential’. “We realised we had to do more to connect, spark engagement and lead,” explains Jacques, and that’s precisely what they did.
Jacques says the company is ready and willing to answer the call of all the founding members and high-profile individuals lending their names and investing in TLN as a serious strategic vehicle for global growth. “We are not just a name on a list, but rather an active participant in what I truly believe can be the next big success story for South Africa.”
He adds, “With Inspired Testing standing alongside so many creative and forward-thinking organisations and business leaders in our country, I believe we can and will make a notable contribution to this ambitious project. I personally look forward to connecting with many more South Africans both at home and abroad as part of this unique venture.”
