In 2011, Josh left the world of business to study International Development at the University of Geneva's IOMBA program in Switzerland. While there, he found his interests focusing upon the role of business in society and measuring development impact, particularly education. He is now a strong Open Data user and advocate.
On his return to South Africa, Josh joined UNDP's Africa Facility for Inclusive Markets (AFIM), where he researched value chain opportunities for low income communities within the retail and extractive industries sectors.
Josh currently serves on the boards of the companies he founded, as well as a few young startups, and is a trustee to the Buyani Education Trust.
