Founder and CEO, Cerebra

Mike Stopforth is an entrepreneur, writer and speaker who helps companies extract value from Web 2.0 trends and technologies to create smarter, more profitable businesses.

He heads up Cerebra, South Africas leading social media company which enjoys relationships with local and global brands Toyota, Samsung Mobile, ABSA, GIBS, Microsoft, Vodacom, Touchline Media and more.

In 2009 Mike was named one of South Africas 300 Young South Africans to take to lunch by the Mail & Guardian newspaper, as well as one of 35 men of influence under 35 years of age by GQ magazine and invited to contribute a chapter on social media to Dion Changs 2010 Flux Trends Review publication.

Mike also co-founded Web startup Afrigator, Africas social media aggregator, and the 27dinner social networking movement. He blogs at www.mikestopforth.com, and can be found on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
