Our Founding Team

We are a group of interdisciplinary students and young professionals, who work together across two continents and five countries, speak five different languages and share one common vision: A Better Tech Future.

Julia Guillemot – Strategy & Impact

Julia Guillemot is an advocate for the sustainable development of technology, and a co-founder of the Better Tech Network. Her work focuses on artificial intelligence governance and the integration of ethical concerns in the development and deployment of artificially intelligent systems. She is currently working at Ubisoft on fostering better connections in online ecosystems.

Julia graduated from IÉSEG School of Management where she wrote her graduate thesis on AI Ethics and has previously studied business, computer sciences and philosophy at Harvard, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Yale. She is also an early admit at Stanford GSB.

Fabian Rabe – Education

Fabian is a self-employed freelancer for digital transformation projects in Lisbon, Portugal. While pursueing his masters at a business school in 2018, he got an unpleasant wake-up call when his social-media account was hacked.

At the BTN he advocates for a balanced and intentional use of technolgy. In his leisure time, Fabian likes to spend time in nature and enjoys the company of a good book or his family and family.

Gema Julissa Tinoco – Communications

Gema values the power of inquiry and has utilized six years of experience with non-profit organizations to learn from the human condition. She currently studies Communications and Media at DePaul University in Chicago, USA.

Her co-founding of BTN was motivated by beginning a communications degree in 2017 amidst a polarized sociopolitical climate amplified by mass media, wishing to extend the conversation beyond lecture hall walls.

On her free time, Gema is introducing herself to night photography, American Sign Language, and chess. She solicits recommendations for dystopian art, literature, and film.

Hannah Nommé – Community Engagement

Hannah is from Wales and has worked for the Young UN, helping her see similarities in the systemic changes needed for both the climate crisis and a better tech future. She recently started a new job working out of London.

Hannah brings a lot of positive energy to the team, which she channels in community events or as a public speaker for the BTN.
