Humanitarian & Disaster Technologist

Work With Evert

Technology doesn’t save lives in a disaster — people do. But the right technology, deployed at the right moment, can make the difference between a coordinated response and a chaotic one. Evert Bopp helps organisations get that right.

With over 15 years working at the intersection of crisis management and emerging technology — founding Disaster Tech Lab, co-founding Crisis Cognition, and deploying in the field across four continents — Evert brings both strategic clarity and operational experience to every engagement.

Consultancy & Advisory

Evert works with humanitarian organisations, government agencies, technology companies, and foundations navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of disaster response technology.

Engagements typically cover:

  • AI and emerging technology strategy — evaluating, integrating, and ethically deploying AI, language models, and predictive analytics in humanitarian contexts
  • Digital communications in crisis — designing and implementing connectivity infrastructure for disaster zones and displacement settings
  • Organisational readiness and technology adoption — helping teams move from awareness to implementation with confidence
  • Programme and project advisory — providing senior-level guidance on technology-led humanitarian programmes from design through to evaluation

Speaking & Events

Evert is a compelling and authoritative voice on humanitarian technology, regularly speaking at international conferences, policy forums, and corporate events.

Topics include:

  • The role of AI in modern disaster response
  • Connectivity as a humanitarian right
  • Lessons from the field: what technology can and cannot do in a crisis
