Our Leadership

Seasoned Technology Executive. Active AI Practitioner.

PraxisKZN is led by a technology executive with over 30 years of experience across South Africa and the UK — adept at swiftly resolving critical business challenges and driving innovation by integrating the latest technology trends to benefit clients and organisations of all sizes.

With 19+ years as CEO of Praxis Computing and PraxisKZN, our leadership brings deep technical expertise — now actively extended into cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence, Agentic Systems, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This is not theoretical knowledge; our certifications are current, hands-on, and directly applicable to client solutions.

Our commitment to continuous learning ensures PraxisKZN clients benefit from the most current AI capabilities, applied with decades of practical enterprise experience. From Telkom's R1 billion Enterprise Systems programme to leading grantmakers across Africa, our track record speaks for itself.

We consult to both the public sector — government departments, municipalities, SOEs — and private enterprise, translating complex AI capabilities into strategies that deliver measurable business value.
