Work

I am the CEO of FrontlineSMS, where we build public interest technology systems - messaging-first interfaces for public services and humanitarian response.

I am also the co-founder of Digital Public, where we help governments, non-profits, and digital transformation projects design contextual, legal, digital governance.

A bit more about my work.

Story

My career began in conflict resolution, became focused on systemic access to justice, and turned into architecting public interest digital governance ecosystems. Along the way, the challenges in each ecosystem have become formative lessons and lenses to frame justice in digital transformation. This is how (and some of why) it connects.
