This month, global attention once again turned to Switzerland as Davos took center stage. It was truly inspiring to see so many brain health champions come together with a shared commitment to advancing brain health and accelerating progress in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions.

At the World Economic Forum, I was honored to be invited by George Vradenburg, Co-Founder of UsAgainstAlzheimer’s, the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative, and the World Dementia Council, to participate in the powerful conversations and events hosted at The Brain House and the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative. I was especially pleased to join these discussions alongside Global BHP member Verena Herzog-Pohl (Co-Founder & CEO of LUMEUS).

Several themes resonated strongly, but one stood out in particular: women’s health represents one of the greatest and most underinvested opportunities in global healthcare today. Despite women comprising half of the world’s population, only 6% of private healthcare investment is directed toward women’s health. According to the WEF Insight Report 2026, addressing this gap could unlock more than $100 billion in market value in the U.S. alone by 2030.

Therefore, the Davos experience was a powerful reminder of why our work matters. It reinforced the urgency to continue pushing boundaries in brain health and strengthened my resolve to bring this momentum back to the Global BHP BrainTrust where we remain committed to reducing disparities and advancing women’s brain health worldwide.
