CEO / Co-Founder @ Skywalk Innovations | Technical Innovation

I’m the CEO & Chief Innovation Architect at Skywalk Innovations, partnering with forward-thinking organizations to define their future desired state and build the bridge from today’s landscape to tomorrow’s breakthroughs.

With 10+ years at the helm of Skywalk, I’ve spearheaded 50+ innovation initiatives and launched 6 startups (5 still thriving, 50+ team members). I’m equally at home sketching high-level strategy or diving into GenAi use cases and business models, and I invest 20–30% of our revenue into R&D, so we’re always pushing the envelope on AI, CloudNative, Video-streaming, and beyond.

What I Do

Vision & Roadmapping: I lead Technology Radar workshops to spot white-space opportunities, then co-create a metrics-driven roadmap, complete with compliance by design.

Modular Architecture: Our modular-first approach lets you introduce new capabilities (LLMs, payment rails, IoT feeds) without costly rewrites, accelerating time-to-value.

Tiger Teams & Stage-Gate Sprints: We embed cross-disciplinary squads (engineers, product managers, domain experts) into your organization, running rapid prototyping cycles, customer co-creation workshops, and “innovation retrospectives” to continuously tighten the flywheel.

Ecosystem Orchestration: As proud AWS partners, and through alliances, we combine domain access with delivery excellence, de-risking complexity and expediting adoption.

How We’ve Delivered

Public Sector Digitization: Helped a government financial services division drive 40,000+ monthly user engagements through a new digital platform.

Professional-Services Modernization: Integrated our bespoke BPM engine into a facilities-management operation, automating resource allocation and approval workflows to reduce manual handoffs by 45% and accelerate service delivery.

Telecom Billing Re-Architecture: Rebuilt a telco’s core billing engine to support six distinct channels and daily product launches.

Global SaaS Expansion: Partnered with a U.S. enterprise to launch a new platform serving global customers alongside their legacy services.

PropTech Innovation: Designed a seamless home-buyer journey that facilitated 30,000 property sales.

Why Work With Us?
We don’t do one-off pilots, we build enduring innovation engines. If you’re ready to map your future state with crystal-clear metrics, assemble the right teams, and execute at velocity, let’s connect.

Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling… that’s what LinkedIn feels like lately. I’ve avoided posting because it can feel like you’re competing with an AI content machine and a biased algorithm.

But I recently watched a conversation between two South African media veterans about the outspoken business champions we used to have - builders who weren’t afraid to speak up, back themselves, and sell a bold vision to corporates, government, clients, and investors. It made me look at today’s feed and ask: what happened?

Despite what 2025 put me through as a founder and South African, I’m choosing to write again - part journal, part signal. Not to perform. To document real lessons from building a technology company here, and to make sure the story is written with my own pen.

So, a re-introduction:
I’m the CEO of Skywalk Innovations - award-winning inventors who’ve built technology across multiple sectors and 9 countries. Last year, we began launching our latest invention: an AI-assisted process factory designed to reinvent how enterprises run cross-department work.

Imagine renting a factory of agents (with human oversight) for complex workflows with messy documents and many handoffs - agents that learn your process once, handle the flow end-to-end, flag only the exceptions, and maintain a clean audit trail as the system improves over time.

If you’re building, hiring, or modernising - welcome. I’ll be sharing the journey.

I’ve noticed something about wave changes.

They don’t only create new opportunities. They create panic.

People split fast:

Some see a chance to reinvent.
Others treat it like an existential threat and start clinging to what’s left.

I’ve been through a few shifts myself, product → consulting → product again.
Different moves. Same pattern.

And the only way I’ve found to stay sane is a simple combo:

1) North Star
Pick a target.
6 months, 12 months, 3 years, whatever.
Without a target you can work like hell and still feel like you’re going nowhere.

2) Compounding actions
Not ideas. Actions.
Compounding doesn’t show up quickly, that’s the trap.
But small actions done consistently become unfair over time.

3) Rate of learning
Compounding is useless if you’re compounding the wrong thing.

So the edge is the loop:
Act → observe → evaluate → adjust.

I think of it like rudder on a boat.
Effort is the horsepower.
Learning keeps you on course.

When a wave hits, I come back to the same questions every time:
What am I aiming at?
What can I start compounding today?
How quickly can I learn and adjust?

Keen to hear how others are navigating wave changes.
