Msizi James
MC & Moderator
I offer a youthful eye with several years of experience. Being in the Media space has led me down many different paths. Currently working for the country's most successful media company (Primedia)has taught me so much about how people think and how people consume. I also run and own my own Branding and marketing company www.brandlabza.co.za , working with companies on strategies to grow their businesses. In a digital age it’s been so important to rethink how you communicate with audiences but with that said, if it's not broken, don't fix it. My life motto is, " Smart people learn from their mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes of others.
Senzo Mbhele
Managing Director: Tarsus On Demand
An intuitive leader with an innate grasp of business drivers and growth strategies as well as the ability to see the big picture without losing site of the nitty gritties that impact everyday operations. A curious approach to problem solving coupled with dynamic communication and presentation ability, have all proven invaluable in the identification and crafting of profitable strategies for clients and employers alike.
A firm believer in sustainable impact, my passion lies in the development of previously disadvantaged communities. We must, with all we have, work to elevate those who cannot do so on their own, for that is true generational impact.

Jessica Harvey
Business Unit Manager, Digital On Demand
Having spent the past few years working with SaaS companies
of various sizes, delving into their day-to-day activities, assisting with
finding new channels and developing new routes to market, I have realized my
true passion for growing companies and brands.
Researching and analyzing stats to develop new markets
and new business opportunities and create product roadmaps is something that
has really grabbed my interest recently. I look forward to seeing what the
future of cloud looks like for these SaaS companies and to walk side-by-side with them in their journey.
