Nedjip Tozun

Board Member

Ten years ago, Nedjip Tozun co-founded d.light, an innovation that came out of Stanford University. Whilst attending the Design for Extreme Affordability program at Stanford, he created his first prototype for families without electricity: a simple, battery-powered LED light. After graduating with an MBA in 2007, Nedjip turned the idea into a for-profit social enterprise, now reaching 60 million people who previously lacked access to electricity. Nedjip brings the ‘mad scientist’ vision to the board, and like the Sanku Dosifier, has already proved that a creative and radical idea can reach millions of people with a life-changing solution.
