Maeghan Orton, Africa Regional Director. Maeghan has a mind for business, a passion for people and a mission to bring innovative technologies to bear on grass-roots challenges. As a business student at the University of Waterloo, she lived in Uganda and worked with HIV-positive women to create a micro-credit & health program.

She has seven years of experience in the financial & international development sectors, specializing in maternal and child health.
