Gajria leads the sub-Saharan Africa region at Google.

He has been at the company for over six years, after spending more than a decade in Brand Marketing at Procter & Gamble and Mead Johnson working all across the Asia Pacific region.

Prior to his current role, Gajria led the YouTube business in India and South-East Asia and he has also led Google in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

“The momentum for this award just keeps on building, and we are thrilled that Nitin has joined the jury panel,” said Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard, Founder and Chairman of APO.

“This year we have over 100 judges… and counting! But, more important than that, everyone on the panel is right at the top of their field, and they all share our passion for supporting female journalism and entrepreneurship in Africa. Together, our truly exceptional judging panel has helped us make the APO Group African Women in Media Award the biggest and most prestigious journalism prize in Africa.”

In addition to the International Grand Prix that has historically rewarded three prize winners with prizes ranging from €10,000 (third place) to €25,000 (first place), Orange added two new prizes to the 2020 edition. It is the 'International Women's Prize' with a value of €20,000, supported by the Orange Group Diversity and Inclusion unit. After a round of domestic competitions in the 17 African Orange subsidiaries during which 41 winners were identified and supported, 18 finalists were selected to enter the international competition which took place at the AfricaTech Festival, the biggest technology fair in Africa. At the end of the presentations, the jury, comprising experts on social entrepreneurship in Africa, met to decide on the winners of the 10th edition of POESAM. Since 2011, the prizes awarded have been in recognition of innovative projects and start-ups associated with the use of mobile phones that have an impact on society, by improving the quality of life of people in Africa and the Middle East in the fields of education, healthcare, agriculture, or mobile payment, e-commerce or even sustainable development.
