Jimmy Ssali: My Journey of Growth and Leadership at SYBYL

Jimmy Ssali, 44
General Manager of Sales,
Uganda

From the moment I stepped into SYBYL (formerly Computer Point) in 2006, I sensed a culture of mutual respect and genuine opportunity. My interview felt more like a conversation than a test—a reflection of SYBYL’s belief in people’s potential. Over the past 18 years, I’ve seen firsthand how this spirit of trust, teamwork, and commitment to continuous learning has propelled not just my career but the organization’s journey toward market leadership.

Early on, the company recognized my dedication and invested in my growth, awarding me “best salesperson” in my first year and providing me with new challenges to stretch my capabilities. Although upward mobility sometimes took patience, SYBYL’s supportive leadership and close-knit teams kept me engaged. Even the toughest moments—like adapting to an expanding, more competitive market—were eased by the strength of our technical experts and the culture of collaboration that underpins every success here.

Beyond promotions and achievements, SYBYL has walked alongside me through life’s biggest steps—from buying my first car to starting a family. It’s a workplace that not only strives to maintain industry leadership but also genuinely cares about its people’s well-being and aspirations. After nearly two decades, I’m still fueled by SYBYL’s ethos of inclusivity, trust, and growth, confident that new heights await both the company and my own career.
