Spinnaker Support has officially marked a major milestone in its South African market entry with the successful hosting of its inaugural executive event in the country, the “Legacy Into the Future” Leadership Breakfast, which was held at the Saxon Hotel in Sandhurst, Johannesburg.
The exclusive breakfast event brought together CEOs, technology leaders, business executives and senior decision makers for a high-level conversation focused on leadership under pressure, strategic decision making and the future of enterprise technology in an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving business environment. The event provided a platform for open dialogue on the challenges and opportunities facing organizations as they go through digital transformation, economic uncertainty and the changing technology landscape.
The event was moderated by Aki Anastasiou, a leading figure in technology journalism and broadcasting, and featured a distinguished leadership panel including Matthew Stava, Global CEO and President of Spinnaker Support; Takeo Mozaki, Managing Director of Spinnaker Support South Africa. John Gill, EMEA vice president for sales at Spinnaker Support; Rob Godlonton, CEO of IQBusiness and Doug Gibson, Managing Partner of Invictus.
Together, the panel highlighted some of the most pressing issues facing enterprise leaders today, ranging from forced cloud migration and rising SAP, Oracle and VMware support costs to the growing need for greater flexibility, operational efficiency and long-term strategic control within enterprise IT environments.
The event also features the first official South African appearance of Spinnaker Support's global CEO, Matt Stava, reinforcing the organisation's commitment to the local market and its long-term growth ambitions within the region.
The breakfast is part of Spinnaker Support's broader South African market penetration campaign, “Your IT Roadmap. Your Control”, a strategic positioning platform developed in partnership with integrated marketing and communications agency Ascent Africa.
For Ascent Africa, the “Legacy into the Future” Leadership Breakfast represents much more than a launch event. This reflects a broader shift in how enterprise technology conversations are evolving in South Africa, from reactive technology management towards more deliberate, business-led decision making.
As enterprise leaders navigate rapid change, increasing operational pressures and an evolving technology ecosystem, the discussions that emerged from the breakfast reinforced a clear message: The future of enterprise technology belongs to organizations that prioritize flexibility, strategic control and long-term value creation.
The “Legacy Into the Future” Leadership Breakfast marks the beginning of what both Spinnaker Support and Ascent Africa believe will be a meaningful and impactful presence within the South African market, focused not only on technology support, but on reshaping the broader enterprise IT conversation.
