Ory Okolloh exits Google for Omidyar Network

Google is set to begin search for a policy manager for its Africa operations following the exit of Ory Okolloh, who left the firm late last month to join a philanthropic investment firm, Omidyar Network.

Omidyar Network, in a press release Thursday, said it had tapped Ms Okolloh to help it drive the organisation's work in supporting innovative institutions that use technology and media platforms to provide access to information and tools necessary for citizens to participate in the governing process.
