Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJennifer Walker is a product and systems leader with 15+ years designing technology that powers social change, civic accountability, and low-resource service delivery. As co-founder and CEO of Deep Digital she builds human-centred AI—particularly lightweight, multilingual conversational tools optimized for mobile and low-data contexts. Her background blends product management, systems thinking and hands-on delivery across startups, civic tech and international development, including biometric deployments and logistics platforms in challenging environments. Jennifer excels at turning messy, bureaucratic problems into pragmatic, scalable systems while leading distributed teams and advising grassroots movements. She’s equally comfortable mapping complex policy constraints as she is shipping usable interfaces, and often works where strategy, technology and community organising converge. Based in the Western Cape, she brings a rare combination of editorial-trained curiosity (BA in English and Information Science) and technical product craft to mission-driven projects.
