Directors

At GatherVerse, our Volunteer Directors, hailing from diverse continents and roles, are pivotal contributors of our vibrant community. Despite their professional obligations, they dedicate their efforts to promote GatherVerse’s vision within their respective areas.

The strength of GatherVerse lies in the diversity of our community and the value we place on every director’s contribution. We provide flexibility, respecting each director’s unique commitments, and understand that while we expand our team, we can only accommodate a certain number.

Nonetheless, we believe in the value of every willing heart and encourage active participation. Welcome to GatherVerse, where every voice counts, every effort matters, and we move together towards a harmonious future of technology and humanity.

GatherVerse Founder

Imagine a world of possibilities. A world where global communities have equitable opportunities to collaborate globally with world-class researchers, educators, health professionals, designers, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, developers and engineers. Where humanity is considered first in every approach.

Where students use the Metaverse to discover, explore and master new understandings of using technology for good. A world where youth and adults are using best-in-class hardware and software to attempt the impossible and drive meaningful change. We’re building this world. We can build it together.
