About Diego Molano
I firmly believe that expanding the use of ICTs will reduce poverty and generate employment in the world. For over 25 years I have worked in ICT expansion, regulation and use, in more than 26 countries around the world. I am the former Minister of Information Technologies and Communications of Colombia (20••••15). I created the \"Plan Vive Digital\", a national technology plan that transformed the Country and led Colombia to obtain many awards, including the GSMA Government Leadership Award. I now work as an Advisor to CEOs and Government Officials on Digital Transformation. I am a Senior Advisor to McKinsey and Company, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the Wilson Center in Washington DC. I am the Chair and Ambassador for its Business Action to Support the Information Society (BASIS) initiative at the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris. I am also Board Member of Multinational Companies and the President of Area Andina, a 30 thousand student university for low-income segments in Colombia, focusing in creating the talent for the digital economy. I am a member of the Future Council of the World Economic Forum. I have helped governments in more than 15 Countries to design technology policies. I was included in the list of world’s 100 most influential people in digital government in in 2018 by Apolitical, and the 20 most influential people in fintech in Ibero-America by TyN Magazine. Before taking up the challenge as Minister, I worked in management positions for multinational companies such as BellSouth (now AT & T) in the U.S, Ascom in Switzerland and Telefonica of Spain. I have also been a member of the board of directors of international organizations as well as telecommunications, TV, radio and postal services companies
