Stefan understood early on that building strong stakeholder relationships and being acutely aware of cultural and team dynamics are skills not typically taught in the school of accountancy. Having worked internationally for many years, he is able to combine these learned behaviours with strong analytic and problem-solving skills to build lasting relationships.
He is passionate about understanding customer requirements and how these intertwine with the macro environment and Africa’s space industry. His particular fascination is the dynamic golden triangle connecting Government, Industry and Academia in the space ecosystem. Pinkmatter specialises in all things Earth observation. Our software ranges from ground segment integration to calibrating and automatically processing large volumes of satellite imagery to analytics that monitor changes over time. We firmly believe in the African proverb, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
