Biography

Stafford has been in the IT industry for more than 15 years and has assumed several roles throughout his career.

He worked for numerous companies before starting his own consulting and engineering services company. After this was acquired he joined a multinational enterprise software company called Novell, moving to the USA where he spent 6 and a half years working at their head office. He played a significant role in the open source software arena in the USA and later returned to South Africa to assume the role of country manager for Novell South Africa. He went on to become the CEO for Google Africa and Sub Sahara.

He focuses on the impact that technology is having in societies and different cultures. He has a thorough understanding of what exactly is happening “out there” and how to take advantage of it.

Versus sticking to particular topics or categories of subject matter, Stafford prefers to tailor his content per client and per vertical business sector; this simply to ensure greater relevance and value to the audience, with the most impact.
