Harry Jakobus

I turn complex technical challenges into business success, bridging bold visions with practical execution. For me, project management is about empowering distributed teams to deliver transformative, real-world solutions.

Born in South Africa and now delivering projects across EMEA, Harry is a seasoned Digital Project Manager and Certified Scrum Master with PMP, SAFe, and Six Sigma certifications. He blends technical expertise with strategic leadership, driving fintech transformations, BI implementations, mobile app launches, and continent-wide ERP rollouts—all with a focus on stakeholder alignment and measurable value.

Harry has led cross-functional teams through complex, multi-jurisdictional projects for brands like FNB, Coca-Cola Beverages Africa, and MTN/Ayoba, from building BI departments to managing multi-million-rand programmes. Passionate about digital transformation and cultural collaboration, he also explores IoT and AI for conservation, develops educational platforms for non-profits, and creates tech solutions with social impact.
