I’m excited to do my very best to build on this leadership to further the mission,” David explained. “My wife and I are passionate about brain health and brain performance because we believe they are the most significant advancements that we can make for the world.” Lindsay Wilson has been a BrainHealth board member for the last three years. She is co-president, executive managing principal, and interiors sector leader at Corgan, a global architecture and design firm. Lindsay works closely with organizations to design human-centered workplaces rooted in principles of health and wellness.
