As CEO, David helped Viamo grow by leaps and bounds, leading its transformation into a platform based business model. He leads the company’s mission to bring some of the benefits of the digital economy to the unconnected or under-connected communities via the unique platform designed for simple mobile phones.David began as a Peace Corps Volunteer in a village in Gabon, after which he served as Country Director for an American non-profit focused on public health in Rwanda, a year after the genocide. In his role, he led the implementation of private sector distribution channels and commercial marketing techniques to increase the use of public health products and services. David found the gap in providing access to life-saving and life-enhancing information and products and services for communities who were not yet online, yet had simple mobile phones and a desire to connect. From the recognition of this unmet need, David partnered with Louis Dorval and Mark Boots to co-found Viamo.David holds a bachelor’s in economics from the University of Chicago.
