Tito Ovia

Co-founder & Head of Public Sector Growth I Helium Health
Founding Member I Feminist Coalition

Tito’s childhood dream was to provide world-class care to as many people as she could across Africa. She has a degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Manchester. Today, Tito helps lead Helium Health, Africa’s largest health-tech provider, as it builds the technology and data infrastructure to make it easier for anyone, regardless of their social class or economic status, to access quality healthcare on the continent. In her role as Head of Public Sector Growth at Helium Health, she is fostering public-private partnerships that accelerate Africa’s transition to a technology and data-driven healthcare system. Her work in African healthcare has helped make her a Forbes 30 Under 30 recipient and a winner of the Future Africa Award for Disruption. When Tito is not working on fixing healthcare in Africa, she is occupied with Feminist Coalition, the womens rights advocacy group she helped found that is promoting equality for women in the Nigerian society, with a core focus on education, financial freedom and representation in public office.
