Biography

Marion Neubronner, a Harvard-trained developmental psychologist, leadership coach, and mental health advocate whose work bridges science, soul, and innovation. During her time at Singapore's Ministry of Health Transformation Office, Marion was a part of the team to identify innovations aimed at addressing mental health. Her passion for compassionate technology led her to Happi.AI, where she worked as an advisor with the team work alongside the late Dr. James R. Doty from Stanford to create a virtual peer supporter that offers empathy and non-judgmental care to its users. She has pioneered new ways to combine peer support, journaling, and AI to make mental health care more personal, preventative, and scalable. She is also a practicing counsellor on www.safespace.sg and a crisis responder. Marion’s vision is clear: healing conversations should be accessible to everyone — and she’s here to show us how to make that happen.
