I work at the meeting point of three convictions: that the body tells the truth, that beauty is a therapeutic force, and that connection is the first thing we cut and the last thing we count. Get that order right and people thrive. Get it wrong, and no amount of optimisation saves the numbers.

The World Economic Forum named me a Young Global Leader, though my career path is stranger than that title suggests: a doctor, fifteen years inside healthcare, a corporate interloper, a self-fashioned public health advocate, a stint researching for the European Space Agency, time spent inside startups and advising investors directly.

The range is the point - it makes me a translator between the lab bench, the clinic, the boardroom, Main Street and the fund.
