About me
LinkedIn

A neuroscientist by training and an entrepreneur by blind confidence (and a desire to do something bigger than myself), I work with impact-driven leaders to align their impact goals with research-backed partnerships. After spending over a decade working with charitable organizations, startups, funders, committees, big business, good people, bad people, and everything in between, I was burnt out looking for impact. I took a break. I reflected. And a week later founded Nonlinear. As an entity in and of itself, Nonlinear connects brain health and wellbeing researchers with impactful projects by providing world class research, data science, and AI expertise to teams driving meaningful impact. (A chunky description I know). A mission driven 50% by a desire to remove barriers from academic-industry collaborations and 50% by a more selfish desire to see products and services targeting health (and mental health especially) actually work. As an individual, I work with the teams and organizations looking for a bit of guidance, fueled perhaps by a bit of curiosity about where an evidence-based strategy might take them. That are not bamboozled by promises of 400x growth overnight (although we have seen it), and want to do the good, the hard, and the thankless work to drive real impact towards their mission. If that’s you, I’ll see you here same time next week. Bring a big coffee. It’s gonna be a good one.

Many of our experts sell out quickly.

This feature is free to use and you'll only get charged when they confirm the booking (a credit card pre-auth is required).

It depends on the specific expert. Some experts add sessions weekly and others add sessions monthly. We recommend booking as soon as possible to not miss out.
