Johann Jenson

I have worked as a policy, tech and marketing specialist for several UN projects, the Canadian Federal Government, the Government of Sierra Leone, the Government of South Sudan and various local development NGOs, small businesses and start-ups in North, Central & South America, Europe and Africa.

@UNEP I was part of a core-team of biologists, primatologists, economists and other experts identifying and implementing strategies for the protection of great ape habitat in Equatorial Africa and Southeast Asia.

@SLEEPOUT we launched our East African MVP in June of 2012 and have been experiencing rapid growth since. We are always looking for talented, brilliant and passionate kohana coders and independent travelers to join our Kenya-based team.
