Harris believes the world is increasingly relying on Brain Capital, where a premium is put on brain skills and brain health (e.g., individual’s cognitive, emotional, and social brain resources).
He leads the development of the Brain Capital field and seeks to place it at the center of economics, policy, finance, and technology. He achieves his aims by “silo smashing” among neuroscience, medicine, business, economics, technology, diplomacy, social sciences, and the arts.
In Harris's career, he has operated as a physician, scientist, entrepreneur, executive services provider, author, new economic and finance thinker, and neuroscience diplomat.
In the brain health technology field, Harris has co-led major commercial contracts, product development, dilutive and non-dilutive capital-raising efforts.
His key positions are:
- Lead, Brain Capital Alliance, a public-private-people partnership advancing brain capital activities in policy, economics and investing. This work has been profiled at the UNGA, COP27, WHO, OECD, New York Times, Newsweek, Neuron, Forbes, PwC, FT, STAT, the Financial Post, neo.life.

The world is increasingly relying on Brain Capital, where a premium is put on brain skills and brain health (an individual’s social, emotional, and cognitive resources). The most impactful solutions to build Brain Capital at scale do not lie at the level of the individual or health services, but in public policy.
The Brain Capital Grand Strategy, published in 2021, articulates the need for a Brain Capital Dashboard, Brain Capital In-All-Policies, and a Brain Capital Investment Plan. The Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) also launched the Neuroscience-inspired Policy Initiative to promote and refine the concept of brain capital. Following the success of that initiative, the Brain Capital Alliance has now been formed as its multi-organizational extension.
