Driving Innovation with Automation: Aldred Dreyer’s Journey with SmartTechNXT

For the past two years, Aldred Dreyer has been an integral part of SmartTechNXT, leading the company’s business development efforts in Southern Africa with a focus on robotic process automation (RPA) and digital transformation. With over two decades of experience in media, broadcasting, and business process automation, Aldred continues to drive innovation that elevates industry standards and delivers meaningful change for SmartTechNXT clients.

The ‘Why’?

Reflecting on his career, Aldred frequently recalls how his early fascination with media and broadcasting sparked his interest in digital technology. Aldred’s roles as the Executive Director for the Digital Migration PMO at the Department of Communications and CTO at the Namibian Broadcast Corporation (nbc) stand as proof of his dedication to digital transformation. In these positions, he spearheaded initiatives that shifted organisations into the digital space. “It was more than just project management,” Aldred explains. “It was about setting new standards that could redefine our new, digital, work environments.”

The global shift towards the fourth industrial revolution sparked his interest in blockchain technology, AI and robotic process automation.

The ‘How’?

Since joining SmartTechNXT, Aldred has applied his wealth of experience to expanding the company’s offerings in robotic process automation (RPA). He views RPA as more than just a tool—he sees it as a gateway to smarterwork solutions that empower people  and streamline operations. “By reducing mundane tasks, we create space for teams to focus on what matters—innovation and growth,” Aldred shares.

The ‘Where’

Aldred remains optimistic about the future of automation and its potential to revolutionise business operations. At SmartTechNXT, his focus is on building partnerships and pushing the boundaries of automation to help clients achieve their productivity goals. “Automation is the future, and every organisation deserves access to tools that support their journey toward efficiency and progress,” he says. Reflecting on his alignment with SmartTechNXT, Aldred states, “I’m excited to be part of the SmartTechNXT team and use my background, experience, and skills to make a significant impact in the 4IR space.”
