Payspace’s Sandra Crous

SANDRA CROUS AWARDED LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN THE DIGITAL INDUSTRY

Sandra Crous, the CEO of payroll solutions provider Payspace, has been granted a Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in the Digital Industry. The accolade was granted by the SA Professional Services Awards sponsored by Sanlam and W. Consulting.

Sandra Crous started her career at SA Permanent Building Society at the enquiries desk. Frustrated about the work she was doing, she requested a transfer to the human resources division where she attended to the salaries function. She started doing salaries and wages and implemented a few computerised payroll systems at different business when in 1989; she saw an advert for a support role to implement payroll systems. She joined a start-up company of seven employees. In the first month of getting leads, she sold four payroll systems a week and that was a massive learning journey. She later had a 27-year run at VIP Payroll and eventually Sage Africa. She fulfilled diverse roles including Sales Director, later taking up the helm as Vice-President for Midmarket Africa and Middle East. Over this period, she oversaw significant revenue growth in the entire midmarket segment, a u g m e n t i n g the company’s reputation and client base in the Middle East, and managing both Direct and Indirect sales teams across the region. She has held positions in the education sector most recently as CEO of both Damelin Online and the London College of International Business Studies. She was appointed PaySpace Managing Director effective 1 April 2019.

“I would like to thank SAPSA,” Crous said. “I have been very fortunate to work with many mentors throughout my career who influenced my life. This Award is special because it is a reflection of doing what you love.”
