Katy Digovich is an entrepreneur that spent the previous 5 years in Southern
Africa growing and running a nonprofit that she founded one month after
graduating from Princeton University, known as Positive Innovation for the Next
Generation or PING. PING worked on the ground deploying health and education
technology and training local unemployed youth to support and maintain their
systems. The organization used this method to launch 11 apps in Botswana,
Mozambique and South Africa and has and has partnered with HP, Motorola,
Clinton Foundation, CDC, USAID and multiple African telecoms.
