Brain Capital Builder

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

Brain Capital is a novel economic measure which integrates brain health and brain skills.

Harris seeks to place Brain Capital at the center of economics, policy and finance in the current brain economy.

Harris is a "Rebel with a Cause" - Brain Capital building - and practitioner of "positive deviance" in the pursuit of boosting brain health and brain skills. He achieves this 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 President of PRODEO, a brain health technology executive services group.

He co-leads the OECD-PRODEO Institute Neuroscience-inspired Policy Initiative (NIPI), supported by the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute. This work has been written up in Neuron, neo.life, Forbes, the FT, STAT and the Financial Post. He is on the Strategic Advisory Board of the Heka Fund, on the Founding Strategic Committee of Brain Health Nexus of Cohen Veterans Bioscience, and a member of the Champion's Cabinet of the Davos Alzheimer's Collaborative.

He maintains advisory or adjunct roles with the American Psychological Association, the Global Brain Health Institute, the Texas Medical Center, the American Association of Geriatric Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine, BrainLat, the Brookings Institution, and IMPACT at Deakin University.

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

Harris has authored 120+ papers. He co-edited the book ‘Convergence Mental Health’ (Oxford 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.
