Vidjinnangni Grégory Thoto holds a Bachelor’s degree in Life and Earth Sciences. He has always been passionate about technology. He advises business leaders and supports start-ups/SMEs in their digital communication strategy. As managing director of Guerra Tech Hub, he uses his experience to train young graduates in the new skills of digital technology, to promote entrepreneurship and digital literacy for young schoolchildren. He is also convinced that in Africa women are at the frontline of education, agriculture, health and so on. He believes that they are also the ones who are able to create successful “problem solving” companies as long as they are offered the opportunity to embrace tech. To this end, he co-leads a program called “Hack Her_” whose main objective is to enable women to regain the central role they played until the 1980s, in the development of computing.
