  Digital inclusion is no longer something that’s ‘nice to have’ – it’s an essential. Being cut off from the digital world isn’t just an inconvenience – it compounds and exacerbates poverty. That’s no longer something we can ignore if we’re interested in a just society. In my role, I build partnerships with organisations and companies who want to see an end to digital poverty by 2030.
