About Matome Raphasha

Two decades where AI, education and business meet.

I’m an AI strategist, entrepreneur and educator. For more than two decades I’ve worked where artificial intelligence, digital transformation, education and business meet.

As Group CEO of Career Builders Group, I help organisations put AI to work in practical ways: automating the right tasks, finding new ways to innovate and growing their impact. I work across education, law, finance, healthcare, government and entrepreneurship, because every sector is being reshaped by AI, and every sector deserves people who know how to use it well.

I’m proud to have been recognised by the innovation hub as one of its promising leaders. But what matters most to me is the work itself: advising, building strategy and helping teams implement AI that actually makes a difference. I’ve trained corporate executives, government leaders and entrepreneurs to bring AI into their businesses and daily workflows, so they work smarter, save time and grow profitably.

When I speak at keynotes and events, I cover Generative AI, AI ethics, automation and business transformation. I keep it real, practical and relevant to the people in the room.

My mission is simple. I want to demystify AI, speed up digital transformation, and give leaders the tools and confidence they need to thrive in an AI-powered world.

The person behind the work

Curious by nature.
Always learning.

I am a lifelong learner with a deep curiosity about people, technology and what makes communities thrive. I enjoy exploring new ideas, having meaningful conversations, travelling and spending time with my family.
Whether I am working, learning or on the road, I am always thinking about how to create more opportunities for people to grow, belong and build the lives they want.
