Summary
Remy Gakwaya is a mission-driven technology CEO with eight years of leadership experience building training programs, tech hubs, and startups that measurably boost digital skills and entrepreneurship. As founder and CEO of takenoLAB and Girls Smart Code, he has scaled community impact—driving 80–90% gains in enrollment, productivity, and program efficiency while incubating startups with a 200% improvement in success rates. He combines hands-on software development and training experience (including roles as Lead Developer and Microsoft Training Manager) with operational chops in budgeting and large-scale program coordination.
