Our March “Media Lab Monday” talk for 2012 is taking place on  Monday, 4 June, at 16:30 in E&E Lecture Hall E354 (Faculty of Engineering) at Stellenbosch University.

The speaker for this event is Stafford Masie, Ex-Google Africa CEO, Technology Futurist, Serial Entrepreneur, Tech Startup Angel Investor… if he acted in Alice in Wonderland… he’d be the rabbit and the mad-hatter combined.

Stafford has been in the IT industry for more than 18 years and has assumed numerous roles throughout his career. After completing his tertiary computer science studies in Israel in the early 90′s, he returned to South Africa and worked for Telkom and Dimension Data.

He spent over 7 years in the USA where he played a significant role in the open source software arena and he has been responsible for global partnerships and corporate technology strategy for numerous international territories including: Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela), the Middle East, Sub Saharan Africa  and Southern Europe.

Stafford was country manager for Novell South Africa and developed and launched Google S.A.

A self-confessed serial entrepreneur, he is involved in several leading-edge technology startups…whilst flying microlights and single prop aircraft, scuba diving and snow skiing when time allows.
