Brain capital builder

 Our brains are arguably our biggest assets as individuals and communities. 

The brain infrastructure of a place (such as a city or country) involves things like neuroscience, neurotechnology, healthcare, childcare, education, investing, as well as workplace productivity and creativity. 

Brain capital is a new asset which integrates brain health and brain skills across the lifespan. 

Harris seeks to place brain capital at the center of economics, policy, finance and technology. Harris achieves his aims by “silo smashing” and convergence between neuroscience, medicine, business, economics, technology, diplomacy, social sciences, and the arts. 

In his career, he has operated as a physician, scientist, entrepreneur, executive services provider, author, new economic and finance thinker, and neuroscience diplomat. 

He is lead for the Brain Capital Alliance, a public-private-people partnership advancing brain capital activities in policy, economics and investing. This work has been profiled in the New York Times, Newsweek, Neuron, Forbes, the FT, STAT, the Financial Post, neo.life and the Australian Financial Review. 

He is Chief Medical Officer of PRODEO, a brain health technology executive services group. 

He co-leads the OECD "Neuroscience-inspired Policy Initiative" (NIPI).

He is an advisor to the Heka Fund (Newfund Capital and FondaMental Fondation), Brain Health Nexus (Cohen Veterans Bioscience), the Texas Medical Center Innovation Institute, the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association and the Tropical Brain and Mind Foundation. He is a member of the Champion's Cabinet of the Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative and a member of Project Value Alzheimer’s Europe (PAVE).

He maintains adjunct roles with the Global Brain Health Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, BrainLat, Deakin University and the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston (UTHealth).

He is an alumnus of Forbes 30 Under 30 and the Fulbright Scholar program. In 2021, he was awarded an EB1A Green Card, an honor typically reserved for Nobel and Pulitzer prize winners.

Harris has authored 140+ papers and co-edited the book ‘Convergence Mental Health’ (Oxford University Press).

He is from the Great Barrier Reef region of Australia and is now based in the USA.

Harris enjoys golf, biking, swimming, meditation, podcasts and international relations.

Ultimately, Harris is advancing a human-centered approach for understanding and progress. A neuroscience-inspired society.
