A software engineer with years of experience at major tech companies, including Mozilla, he's now an entrepreneur working on his second startup.

Remy Muhire (photo) is a Rwandan computer scientist and tech entrepreneur. He is the co-founder and CEO of Pindo, a startup that enhances digital accessibility, particularly for those with limited literacy or technological skills. 

Founded in 2020 by Muhire and Eugène Rwagasore, Pindo aims to revolutionize communication in Africa through voice-based artificial intelligence (AI). Their technology enables businesses to reach and engage millions of people in their native languages. Pindo’s AI solution converts written text into a natural-sounding voice in Kinyarwanda, Swahili, and Luganda.

Muhire is also a member of forLoop Africa, a network of software developers and tech enthusiasts across the continent. Before founding Pindo, he co-founded Exuus Ltd in 2016, a company specializing in big data. He served as Chief Technology Officer there until 2018 and remained on its board until 2020.

A computer science graduate from the University of Rwanda, Muhire began his professional career in 2012 at Digital Creations, a creative agency, where he was lead software engineer. In 2014, he became a senior software engineering consultant at Oxfam, the nonprofit dedicated to combating poverty.

In 2018, he joined Progate, an online coding education platform, where he managed growth and community engagement across Africa. In 2020, he was recruited by Mozilla, the technology company, to serve as a community manager specializing in voice technology—a role he held until 2022.
