In a world where the pace of change outstrips the pace of adaptation, one voice stands out — Mpho Matsitse, known globally as “The Change Navigator.” A powerful storyteller, strategist, and transformation architect, Mpho equips leaders to remain human in an AI-driven world, navigate disruption with purpose, and lead with courage in times of relentless change.

With over 15 years of C-Suite and senior leadership experience across Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, Mpho has worked with global technology powerhouses such as SAP, IFS, BCX, and Gijima, helping organizations reposition for growth, profitability, and market relevance. Renowned for turning around challenged business units and architecting scalable Go-To-Market strategies, he has led teams across multiple continents to achieve measurable, sustainable performance outcomes.

At the core of Mpho’s expertise lies his mastery in Business Value Engineering — a discipline that transforms how organizations sell, compete, and grow. He helps enterprises and their executive teams shift from transactional selling to value-based engagement, embedding a culture of value creation, customer intimacy, and commercial excellence. Through this lens, Mpho has helped Fortune 500 companies and regional champions alike identify, quantify, and communicate the economic impact of their solutions — enabling accelerated deal velocity, deeper client trust, and sustainable market share growth.

A Harvard Executive Programme alumnus and recipient of the SAP Global Award for Diversity & Inclusion, Mpho was also named Inspirational Leader of the Year by the Future of Leadership Forum. His career is defined by transformation: from repositioning key verticals at SAP, to leading cross-border growth at IFS in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, to re-engineering commercial performance within South Africa’s ICT landscape.

Mpho is a seasoned keynote speaker whose presence has captivated audiences on global stages including the Gartner Symposium, UN OGP Summit (South Korea), MTN IoT Conference, Future of Leadership Summit, and MICCSA Conference. His June 2024 ITWeb Brainstorm Magazine cover feature, “Reimagining Banking in a Digital-First World,” cemented his reputation as a thought leader at the intersection of leadership, technology, and human transformation.

His signature talks — “Leading in an Age of Relentless Change,” “The Power We Miss,” and “Becoming a Market-Maker” — have become frameworks for future-ready leadership. Drawing on real-world experience, Mpho explores how to lead with adaptability, scale with purpose, and leverage diversity as a strategy rather than a slogan. He shows leaders how to turn volatility into velocity, and how to humanize leadership in an era where AI, automation, and analytics redefine the rules of competition.

As a media-trained professional speaker with over 15 years of stage experience, Mpho has mastered the art of connecting vision to value. His storytelling bridges boardroom strategy with human insight, helping organizations align purpose with performance. Whether addressing CEOs, policymakers, or entrepreneurs, his message resonates across cultures and industries — a call to evolve, adapt, and lead from the front. At his core, Mpho believes that change is not to be managed — it is to be mastered. His leadership philosophy centers on the conviction that organizations that embrace adaptability, lead with empathy, and engineer value into every customer interaction will define the next era of business and society.

If your organization seeks to ignite transformation, empower leadership, or scale value creation in the age of disruption, then Mpho Matsitse is not just a keynote speaker — he is a catalyst for reinvention. His sessions don’t just inspire; they activate change.
