Co-FounderTurn.io
Gustav Praekelt is a founder based in Africa. He builds and supports organisations that use technology to empower people.
In 2003, he founded Praekelt Consulting, (now Helm Africa), a for-profit designing digital products and services to help Africa’s biggest brands turn complex customer journeys into simple experiences.
His belief in the power of mobile phones to transform lives inspired him to establish the Praekelt Foundation in 2006 - which imagines a world in which personal, uninterrupted healthcare is available to everyone. Praekelt.org (Now Reach Digital Health) has been at the forefront of digital health, being involved involved in the early use of mobile technology in HIV treatment, Maternal and Child health and more recently, helping governments and iNGOS respond to the COVID pandemic in the global south.
In 2018, Gustav established Turn.io, a platform that enables social impact organisations have personal, guided conversations to improve lives at global scale.
