Co-Founder and Business Development Director, Nclose.
Stephen started his professional career in London, where he contributed to the growth and development of an online booking product at eBookers.com, sparking the beginning of an enduring passion for IT. Being proudly South African and seeing the potential for growth within this sector, he returned to South Africa in 2004, immersing himself in the IT security industry, initially at a major IT security solutions distributor for four years. During this tenure, Stephen's expertise in IT infrastructure and security solutions flourished, alongside his dedication to product excellence and client satisfaction. Identifying gaps in the market and believing cybersecurity could be done better, he co-founded Nclose in 2006 and never looked back. Stephen's entrepreneurial spirit hit its stride, driven by a commitment to meeting cyber security needs in South Africa. His expertise for product perfection and client-centric focus is evident in how successful Nclose is today, establishing strong relationships with prominent enterprises across Southern Africa and abroad.
