Jeremy Simpson

Jeremy Simpson is an experienced technical leader at Meta (formerly Facebook), where he has honed his skills in building scalable solutions and leading cross-functional teams. But beyond the world of technology, Jeremy is known for something far more valuable — his humility, compassion, and deep commitment to helping others succeed.

Jeremy's background is steeped in inspiration. He carries a genuine passion for knowledge-sharing and believes that the most powerful thing you can give someone is the confidence to believe in themselves. This philosophy aligns perfectly with GIU's core mission: that greatness already lives within every person, and it's our responsibility to create environments where that greatness can emerge.

As one of Kwabena Kesse's closest friends, Jeremy didn't need convincing when GIU was founded. He joined from the very beginning, bringing not only his technical expertise but his whole heart to the mission. His friendship with Kwabena predates GIU, and that personal bond infuses his board service with a level of dedication that goes beyond professional obligation — it's personal.

Jeremy aims to drive impactful programs that foster an environment where individuals can achieve their goals regardless of where they started. Equipped with the skills and perspective gained at Meta — one of the world's most innovative companies — he leads with empathy, servant-leadership, and a relentless belief in collective potential.

As a founding board member, Jeremy has been instrumental in shaping GIU's organizational structure and strategic direction from day one. His experience at Meta has brought a level of operational rigor and forward-thinking approach to how GIU designs and delivers its programs.

Jeremy's technical background has been invaluable in helping GIU leverage technology for greater reach and impact. From advising on digital strategy to contributing to program design, he ensures that GIU operates efficiently and scales its mission effectively.

Beyond his professional contributions, Jeremy is dedicated to shaping success through shared endeavors. He embodies the principle that when we invest in others, we all rise together. His compassionate guidance and steady presence on the board help GIU stay true to its founding vision while continuing to grow its reach across Ghana and beyond.
