Project Quality Manager
About Viamo
Mobile technology is
revolutionizing how organizations engage with their end users. More than 96% of
the world’s population has access to a mobile phone, meaning it is now possible to reach nearly every
single person on the planet.
Yet 3 billion people living in emerging markets still
lack access to relevant, timely, and engaging information in their local
languages, and their voices remain underheard. The organizations that serve
them lack the technology and capacity to reach them, and many are unaware
of the power of mobile technology to meet their
organizational goals.
Viamo connects individuals and organizations
using digital technology to make better decisions.
With more than 30
million people reached in 2019 alone, we are well on our way to meeting our
goal of reaching 50M people annually by 2023.
