MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Andrea Pfeifer, Chair of the Global BHP BrainTrust

2025 has been another year full of geopolitical tensions, uncertainty, and adaptations for many.

Yet, amidst these times, the Global BHP BrainTrust turned 5 years, a milestone I’m personally very excited about.

In 2020, we first introduced our mission: to research, communicate and elevate the health, economic and social impact case for prioritizing and investing in women’s brain and mental health.

Five years later, we have grown to a strong community of 32 exceptional female leaders across government, philanthropy and business; introduced and fast-tracked our first “FINGER Plus for Women” research study; published monthly newsletters; hosted sessions and receptions at Lausanne XI and XII; co-sponsored a special event with CitiBank; and engaged to support WHAM (Women’s Health Access Matters), the BREATHE campaign, and the proposed International Arts + Mind Lab Initiative on Women.

None of this would be possible without the commitment and leadership of our members and stakeholders. Thank you for your continued dedication to advancing women’s brain health.

Looking ahead to 2026, I am excited to continue this growth journey with new member-led initiatives, upcoming events, and anticipated clinical readouts, including progress toward more patient-friendly Alzheimer’s treatments, such as a potential at-home injectable option (Biogen).

I wish you a wonderful start to 2026 and invite you to explore our End of Year Report for more insights and updates.
