A Milestone for Spinnaker Support in South Africa
South Africa’s technology leaders are facing a growing challenge: balancing the need for innovation and transformation with increasing pressure to optimise costs and maximise existing technology investments.
These themes took centre stage on 27 May 2026, when Spinnaker Support hosted its Legacy into the Future Leadership Breakfast at the Saxon Hotel in Johannesburg. The executive gathering brought together business leaders, technology decision-makers, and industry stakeholders for a discussion on leadership, enterprise technology strategy, and the future of enterprise software support in South Africa.
The event served as an important milestone in Spinnaker Support’s global growth journey and signalled the company’s commitment to supporting organisations across South Africa and the broader African market
Industry Leaders Explore the Future of Enterprise Technology
The event featured a panel discussion moderated by Aki Anastasiou, one of South Africa’s leading technology and business broadcasters.
Panellists included Matt Stava, Global CEO and Chairman of Spinnaker Support; Teko Mojaki, Managing Director of Spinnaker Support South Africa; Jon Gill, EMEA Vice President of Sales at Spinnaker Support; Rob Godlonton, CEO of IQbusiness; and Doug Gibson, Managing Partner at Invictus.
The discussion focused on some of the most pressing issues facing organisations today, including forced cloud migration, rising support costs within SAP, Oracle, and VMware environments, and the growing need to balance operational resilience with long-term business transformation.
A key theme throughout the morning was the importance of giving organisations greater control over their technology decisions and creating the flexibility needed to align technology investments with business priorities.
Strengthening Spinnaker Support’s Presence in South Africa
As one of Africa’s most mature enterprise technology markets, South Africa represents a strategic opportunity for Spinnaker Support’s continued global expansion.
The company’s local presence will enable organisations to access world-class third-party software support while helping them optimise technology investments, reduce unnecessary costs, and redirect savings towards innovation, artificial intelligence initiatives, customer experience improvements, and business growth.
The launch breakfast also created a valuable platform for peer-to-peer engagement, allowing executives to exchange perspectives on leadership, technology transformation, and the future of enterprise software strategy in Africa.
Looking Ahead
More than a market launch, the Legacy into the Future Leadership Breakfast was a statement of intent. It reflected Spinnaker Support’s commitment to investing in South Africa, building meaningful relationships with local organisations, and contributing to conversations that shape the future of enterprise technology across the region.
As the company continues to expand its footprint in South Africa, the event laid a strong foundation for future engagement with organisations seeking greater flexibility, cost efficiency, and strategic freedom in their technology environments.
