The current chapter

Technology leadership applied to complex digital health programmes.

At Jembi Health Systems, the role combines programme delivery with financial management, resource planning and technology enabled innovation across multi donor programmes in sub Saharan Africa.

The work brings together technology, programme governance, delivery discipline and the practical realities of working across countries and organisations.

A different technology environment

The technology is now part of a larger delivery system.

The earlier career was shaped by building networks, Internet services and technology businesses. The digital health work applies that experience to programmes where technology has to work within institutions, budgets, donor requirements and country contexts.

The emphasis is therefore not simply on deploying technology. It is on making technology useful, sustainable and deliverable at programme scale.

Scale and complexity

Working across countries, donors and delivery partners.

The current work involves multi donor programmes across sub Saharan Africa. That requires balancing strategic direction with the operational detail needed to keep delivery moving, resources aligned and financial responsibilities under control.

It also draws together capabilities developed throughout the career, including commercial modelling, organisational leadership, technology strategy, procurement, planning and complex programme management.
