Co-FounderTurn.io
Gustav Praekelt is a technology founder based in Africa. He loves building and supporting organisations that use technology to empower people.
His belief in the power of mobile phones to transform lives inspired him to create Praekelt Foundation (now Reach Digitial Health) - a non-profit works to achieve a world in which personal, uninterrupted healthcare is available to everyone. Praekelt.org 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, together with Simon de Haan and Pippa Yeats, he launched [**Turn.io**](https://www.turn.io/); based on technology originally developed at Praekelt.org.
Turn.io equips organisations in the Global South to power life-improving support via private, personalised conversations.
