Victor Ladele is no stranger to global health crises, from serving as an army surgeon to being on the frontline of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Victor offers his perspective on why, in a world where social distancing has radically changed our daily workflows and lives, we should embrace digital communication as our new normal. For Victor, this new digital reality is an opportunity to invest more deeply in our digital networks, reframe our communications approach, and tap into our collective intelligence. Victor demonstrates how in the age of Covid, embracing a digital transformation at UNDP is more relevant than ever.

Aitor Rubio is undeniably charming in person, but how does he translate this into communicating in the digital world?

Based in Suva, Fiji, Victor is a father, tech wizard and a deep thinker who is originally from Nigeria. In Fiji, he works to inject more innovation into how UNDP does business. As part of one of the first cohorts of the UNDP’s accelerator lab, he’s responsible for about a dozen Pacific Island countries. Victor applies his medical background working as a doctor in development and humanitarian contexts to the search for emerging, under-the-radar solutions to issues such as climate change, urbanization, mass unemployment, and disease control in the Pacific region. Although Victor has years of experience solving problems with communities on the ground, translating his work to a digital audience is a whole new experience.
