The Team Behind the Platform

We are a team of former development practitioners, diplomats, and engineers who have experienced the challenges of field intelligence firsthand.

Leadership

Yael Hartmann

Co-Founder & Chief Governance Officer

I've spent the last decade working at the intersection of development programs, governance, and policy environments in Africa. Programs are constantly disrupted by elections, ministry turnover, regulatory shifts, misinformation, and climate shocks. Yet organizations still manage these risks through scattered notes and informal updates. That gap is what led me to start Agora.

Wenslauce Chengo

Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer

I'm a technical founder with experience leading product delivery and building modern web platforms. My background is in designing and shipping software that works in real-world conditions, not just in theory. At Agora, I lead technical strategy and execution to ensure the platform is secure, scalable, and usable for governance-sensitive organizations.

Jimson Wasilwa

Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer

I'm a Kenyan software founder obsessed with building products people actually want to use. At Agora, I make governance intelligence work in real workflows by combining CRM and intelligence in one system. My goal is to enable organizations to arrive at a decision to either comply, advocate, reduce risk, or act on opportunities.
