Meet Darren Roos, the South African who is CEO of global software firm IFS

JOHANNESBURG — Wherever you go in the world, you're bound to bump into a South African. One of those South Africans is Darren Roos, who now lives in the UK. In April this year, Roos - who is a long-time veteran in the enterprise software space - became CEO of a major global enterprise software firm called IFS, which has its headquarters in Sweden. IFS has received high praise from the likes of research houses Gartner and Forrester. And as Roos tells me in this interview, he's now essentially reconfiguring IFS' presence in South Africa as well as hosting an interesting event in the country dubbed 'Connect to what's Next' at Sandton's Maslow Hotel on 2 August 2018. - Gareth van Zyl Learn more about your ad choices.
