Founding Advisory Board

The Design 4 Democracy Coalition brings together select democracy and tech leaders from around the world who have expertise on a number of the key democracy challenges in the digital age.

The Design 4 Democracy Founding Advisory Board represents the individuals who helped create the Coalition. Its role was to develop the charter and governance structure of the Coalition, as well as to set the ethical standards regarding tech industry, philanthropic, and government funding to guide the Coalition’s activities. We are grateful for the efforts they put in to make the Coalition what it is today.
