ABOUT
Tech companies have become known for having quirky and fun cultures, but it's not always totally clear why this is so important. Join us to find out more about why companies need to take their cultures so seriously, and the role that culture fit can play in a software maker’s job.
Our epic speakers Quraish Behari, the CEO of Derivco, and Alexandria Proctor, CEO and Co-founder of DigsConnect.com, will be telling us more about their experience in tackling the topic of company culture. So, come fuelled with any burning questions that you have for them!
There’ll be snacks and beer on hand to keep those mental cogs turning. We hope you’re ready to share and learn!

SPEAKERS
Quraish Behari is the CEO of Derivco – a leading software development and IT services company in the global gaming world, employing over 1500 of the brightest minds in the industry, across six offices in South Africa, Costa Rica, Australia and the Isle of Man.
Having started his career as a Software Developer, Quraish quite literally learnt the technology “business” from the inside out. Coming from a tech background, he brings a unique point of view to the boardroom table as he works to shape a culture where technologists can thrive.
Alexandria is the CEO and cofounder of DigsConnect.com, Africa’s largest student accommodation marketplace. She is 26 years old, from the Eastern Cape, and moved to Cape Town to study a science degree at the University of Cape Town. During her undergrad, she was elected to the Students’ Representative Council, and had the portfolio which included off campus housing for students.
It was this experience which led to her start DigsConnect.com as her solution to the recurrent student housing crises in South Africa. Building DigsConnect.com from scratch as a student, it’s now grown into Africa’s largest student accommodation marketplace, and recently raised one of the biggest seed funding rounds in South Africa to date.
Alexandria is passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, literature and politics.
