Behnke as the proposed Head of the Millicom Foundation.
Till is the founder of betterplace.org, the German online donation platform

welcome Till to lead the Millicom Foundation. The company has been transforming
the lives of its customers for years and now we want to strengthen that
commitment by supporting social action with a digital outlook where it is needed
in the countries where we operate. I know Till will provide strong and dynamic
leadership to this role and help deliver projects that have a lasting impact.”

Till Behnke said “I believe in digitalisation as the biggest opportunity for
more equal opportunities in this world. I have been working in this field for
the past seven years and joining Millicom to build up its Foundation is an ideal
opportunity to apply the same thinking on a larger scale and with more impact.
The core business of Millicom is empowering individuals in emerging and
developing countries with life changing infrastructure. The Foundation will be
building on top of this by providing digital tools and mobilising people to
change their world for the better."
