Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStefan Magdalinski is a serial founder and veteran technology leader with three decades of experience launching and scaling digital products across e-commerce, classifieds, local data, and healthcare. He has built and led teams at startups and global groups—founding MOO’s tech stack (holding a patent on its printing process), growing OLX and Mocality into market leaders in Africa, and pioneering early web and mobile services including Virgin Mobile and Upmystreet. More recently he’s focused on decentralised systems, security/privacy and operational scaling, shaping technical programs at the Filecoin Foundation and advising multiple early-stage ventures. Known for combining product-first thinking with hands-on engineering and operational rigor, he also brings a track record of translating research and user insight into commercially successful platforms. An often overlooked strength is his ability to adapt technologies across sectors—from digital printing to elder care and blockchain—turning domain knowledge into repeatable company-building playbooks.
