The Moroccan Team
Grounded in Identity, Global in Vision
Our core team in Casablanca channels Morocco’s spirit of adaptability, multilingualism, and invention. From Amazigh artisans to Arab mathematicians, Morocco has long been a home of thinkers and makers—and our team carries that legacy into health innovation.
We are researchers, developers, designers, analysts, marketers, and builders—each fluent in the complexities of Moroccan life and health. We speak Darija, Arabic, French, Amazigh—and data. And we build with empathy for the realities of both urban and rural Morocco, from the Atlas Mountains to the Saharan south.
