Vukani Mngxati has been appointed CEO of Microsoft South Africa, effective October 1. His appointment builds on Microsoft’s more than three decades of partnership and investment in South Africa, reflecting the company’s continued commitment to enable public and private sector companies to unlock the power of AI and drive inclusive economic growth.

In his new role, Mngxati will lead Microsoft’s South African operations, driving initiatives that support the country’s digital and AI transformation journey.

Leveraging the foundation built, he will focus on expanding cloud infrastructure, growing AI skills in local communities and building partnerships that align with South Africa’s national development goals.

His appointment further strengthens Microsoft’s local leadership as the company continues to equip South African businesses, government, and civil society with the technology and tools they need to innovate, grow, and compete globally – while enabling them to benefit from its strong partner ecosystem and global best practices.

Mngxati will draw on his more than 25 years of experience in enterprise modernisation and strategic innovation to lead Microsoft’s involvement in the country’s digital and AI transformation, preparing businesses to be future ready.

He has held several leadership positions at Accenture, most recently as CEO and chairperson and pursued an entrepreneurial venture of his own earlier in his career.
