Stu Iverson's Linkedin Analytics

With over 15 years of experience in entrepreneurship and corporate development, I help organizations leverage the power of emerging technologies and business models to transform their industries and markets. As a Partner at Silicon Foundry, a membership-based corporate advisory platform, I lead the Middle East and Africa region and the DIFC Launchpad initiative, connecting our clients with top startups, investors, experts, and technology executives to unlock new growth opportunities. My passion is to create value through strategic collaborations, investments, spin outs, and acquisitions, enabling our clients to stay ahead of the curve and shape the future. I have worked with and within some of the most innovative brands, such as Nike, Joby, DIFC, and Standard Bank, as well as co-founded and then integrated Tesserae, a data platform for localizing AI in Africa. I also enjoy sharing my insights and learnings as a speaker and lecturer at prestigious institutions and programs, such as Wharton and INSEAD.
