Hermann DeSouza

Founder & PresidentFondateur & Président

Hermann is originally from Benin, West Africa, and speaks seven languages. He spent 15 years learning how Apple builds supply chains, manages operations at scale, and delivers products that customers love.

In 2010, he co-directed Cercle Social to improve access to secondary education for disadvantaged youth in Benin — building a computer lab at CEG Tori Agouako that trained 778 students with measurable academic improvement. That work led him to found One-to-Many in 2019.

"It is education, the use of data, and new technology in schools that will transform developing countries."

Where It All Began

In November 2012, Cercle Social — co-directed by Hermann — opened a computer lab at CEG Tori Agouako in Benin. Over three academic years, the lab trained 778 students across 1,288 hours, with 65% of participants showing measurable grade improvement.

This proven model became the foundation for One-to-Many: the belief that technology, data, and community engagement can transform education outcomes in underserved schools.
