Johan Bjurman Bergman works in the global team of World Bank's Digital Transformation Vice Presidency. He is focused primarily on the topics of artificial intelligence for development, ICT industry development and digital skills and job creation, and also serves as the Digital Transformation focal point for Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations. Previously, he helped develop the Palestinian technology ecosystem and worked with the West Bank and Gaza Country Management Unit, including on efforts that led to the tripling of the Bank’s financing for Palestinian development in 2024. He has also contributed to operational and analytical work on digital transformation, fragility, and climate change in Central African Republic, Guinea Bissau, Haiti, and Georgia.

Before joining the Bank in 2021, Johan spent seven years leading initiatives in private and non-profit sectors to develop market-aligned skills, create digital jobs and promote innovation, in over 30 mostly low- and middle-income countries. In his free time, he co-hosts "F-World," a podcast on fragility and resilience. Johan holds a BSc in Economics from Stockholm School of Economics and an MSc in International Development from Georgetown's School of Foreign Service. He speaks Swedish, English, and French, and is learning Arabic. His first job was as an opera singer.
