The people behind Opus Intelligence
A small, hungry team building AI systems that actually work in the real world. Based in Johannesburg, operating across South Africa.
Founded August 2025 · Johannesburg, SA
Haiden Coleman
Founder & CEO
Haiden Coleman started Opus Intelligence because he saw what was coming before most people were paying attention. The world's largest companies were spending millions to bring in consultants just to audit their systems and bolt on AI after the fact. He wanted to flip that model: make that same intelligence available to small and medium businesses in South Africa, at a fraction of the cost, and without the complexity. He began building in early 2025 and has been shipping real AI systems ever since. Voice agents, workflow automation, lead qualification pipelines. Built in Johannesburg, deployed for clients across South Africa. The vision behind Opus has always been the same: businesses should not have to figure out AI alone. As the technology reshapes every industry, Opus acts as the AI partner alongside you, helping you navigate the shift, implement the right systems, and compete with the resources you have.
Alwande Khoza
Co-President, Outreach
Alwande is the front of Opus's commercial engine. At 22, he generated meetings with The Codfather restaurant group and Crown Foods in under three weeks. His natural ability to open doors and articulate AI's real-world value to business owners makes him one of the agency's most effective voices.
Letago Makaepea
Co-President, Closing
Letago works alongside Alwande to convert pipeline into signed clients. With sharp instinct for matching what a business actually needs to the right Opus solution, he has helped close deals with brands in hospitality and food services within the first weeks of engagement.
Romeo
Marketing & SEO Strategist
Romeo graduated with a marketing and SEO degree in November 2025 and joined Opus to drive digital growth strategy. He brought Versofy into the pipeline and is rapidly expanding into AI-native workflows, bridging traditional marketing thinking with the automation-first approach Opus is built on.
Leeroy
Business Development
Leeroy has been building alongside Opus since mid-2025, meeting business owners and generating early-stage pipeline across Johannesburg. His drive to understand AI from the ground up and his natural ability to connect with people make him a strong and growing force for business development.
