Her research focuses on internet use in the Global South, especially global digital cultures, inequality and data governance. She is the author of several award-winning books, including “The Next Billion Users”, which was praised by Forbes as groundbreaking.

Her work has been featured in over 150 international media outlets, including the BBC, Financial Times and The Economist. She is a sought-after speaker and advises various organizations such as UNHCR, Spotify and Google on topics of digital innovation and inclusion. For more than seven years and in 450 episodes, we have talked to well over 500 people about how their work has changed and what still needs to change. We are absolutely certain that it is important to do so right now. After all, the idea of “New Work” was developed during a real crisis. How can we look to the future with more optimism in the face of current challenges? Why do we need to talk 'with' the “Global South” and not 'to' the Global South? And what exactly can we learn from the 90 percent of young people worldwide who all live in the Global South? We are looking for methods, role models, experiences, tools and ideas that will help us get to the heart of New Work! In addition, we have been dealing with the question from the very beginning of whether everyone can really find and live what they really, really want at heart. You are at “On the Way to New Work” in collaboration with Zoomer Meets Boomer with Payal Arora and Oskar and Michael Trautmann.
