About
I’m Stafford Masie. I Help Entrepreneurs Build Their Dreams
I talk around Digital Innovation and Disruption, and are applicable to any audience because technology is a transversal matter, irrespective of industry or theme.
I have been in the ICT industry for more than 25 years. My career foundations started in mid 90’s working for Telkom, Dimension Data and then Novell as a software engineer. After spending 7.5 years living in the USA working for Novell based in Utah, I notably was responsible for establishing Google’s presence in South Africa (2006).
I led their team in launching the African versions of Google Search, Adwords, Google Maps and Streetview as well as the local version of YouTube – in other words, the Southern African Google business ecosystem and strategy.
After leaving Google in 2010, I founded several fintech businesses and have since established several technology start-ups that have expanded globally. I am known for the ‘Payment Pebble®’ and ‘Payment Blade®’ which I invented and which were launched via ABSA in South Africa and ANZ Bank in Australia and New Zealand.
