Our story

In 2001, we started as a team of ten - now we're a team of over 900 in Cambodia, Laos, Kenya and the United States.

Digital Divide Data was founded in 2001. Jeremy Hockenstein, then a business consultant, traveled to Angkor Wat and was struck by the mix of poverty and progress he saw in Cambodia. Though there were computer schools offering training to young people, there were still no jobs for the students once they graduated. Recognizing the opportunity to make a difference, Jeremy and a group of friends - Jaeson Rosenfeld, Kathryn Lucatelli, Scott Keller, Vernon Naidoo, and Shawn Fremeth - committed to figuring out what they could do.

This team of DDD's founders saw an opportunity for growth: applying India's IT outsourcing model to Southeast Asia could provide jobs and contribute to the region's development. Digital Divide Data began as one small office in Phnom Penh digitizing the Harvard Crimson, a student newspaper.

Today, DDD has successfully delivered hundreds of projects to prestigious international and local clients, and operates four offices with over 900 staff. We are currently the largest technology employer in Cambodia and Laos. These jobs have propelled hundreds of families out of the cycle of poverty.
