Co-founder & CTO VIAMO LOUIS DORVAL

Co-founder & COO VIAMO

BIO: When Mark and Louis met as Engineers Without Borders Canada alumni, they shared one question: How can we help aid organizations and emerging market governments use tech to meet the needs of people who aren’t being reached? Their answer was in founding VOTO Mobile - now Viamo - in 2013, using the ubiquitousness of mobile phones to create new feedback loops at scale, and empower millions of people with new access to vital information. They have since grown the company to 33 countries and reached over 30 million people with hundreds of diverse services. Mark has a PHD in Physics from the University of Saskatchewan, and Louis has an MBA as a Skoll Scholar at the University of Oxford.
