Board Advisor
I speak on digital innovation and disruption on topics that resonate across all industries, as technology continues to shape and influence every aspect of business and society.
With more than 25 years of experience in the ICT industry, my career began in the mid-1990s, working with leading organizations such as Telkom, Dimension Data, and Novell as a software engineer.
I later spent over seven years based in the United States, working for Novell in Utah, gaining global exposure and deep technical expertise.
A defining milestone in my career was leading the establishment of Google’s presence in South Africa in 2006. I built and led the team responsible for launching key platforms across the region, including Google Search, AdWords, Google Maps, Street View, and YouTube—effectively shaping the Southern African Google ecosystem and driving its market strategy.
Stafford continues his entrepreneurial journey today as an inventor and mentor within early-stage technology start-ups.
Presently the two most notable of which are GATTACA – an artificial intelligence platform – and another which focuses on bitcoin crypto currency innovations.
