Zeena Rossouw: “Our goals for 2022 are to unfold new horizons”
Zeena Rossouw, Vice President of Operations and Sales for BMM Testlabs South Africa, reflects on leading the South African entity through the Covid-19 crisis.
Press release.- Like many gaming companies, BMM Testlabs started 2020 with a focused roadmap and solid business plans. However, the severe lockdown restrictions brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the deadly variants that followed, lead to critical and urgent updates across the business.
How did BMM adapt throughout the pandemic to ensure growth in South Africa?
BMM instated disaster management, business continuity policies, and corporate crisis management frameworks. We also adjusted our staff to life working from home to manage our business while prioritizing the health and safety of our employees.
“Throughout this time, BMM South Africa has remained the only local laboratory that has received full accreditation for penetration testing and vulnerability assessment from SANAS.”

What internal efforts have you made as Vice President of Operations and Sales, SAF?
Despite adversity, I led my team in re-shaping the future of the business to an online landscape to serve our customers with continuous high-quality deliverables. We have grown our team and arranged extensive training and skills development internally, while also forming closer relationships with our clients and regulators.
We have dedicated more time to supporting clients virtually with new business models, technology trends, and testing advice. This has led to an increased demand for our services across South African and European markets, where we have dominated iGaming and Sports betting testing services.
What are BMM South Africa’s goals for 2022?
While the path to recovery from Covid-19 remains unclear for the gaming industry, I am proud to share how the resilience of my team throughout this pandemic has made us stronger.
Our goals for 2022 are to unfold new horizons, fulfil new objectives, harbour new strategies, and rediscover the strength to steer the business to new successful heights, proving that BMM Testlabs is the leading testing laboratory!
