Executive Producer & Voiceover for the launch video for XPRIZE Healthspan, a 7-year, $101 million global competition to revolutionize how we approach human aging.
Modern medicine focuses on treating symptoms of injury, illness, or disease once they develop. This reactive system extends life but doesn’t proactively improve health, leaving millions grappling with poor quality of life and related economic challenges in their later years.
Success from XPRIZE Healthspan would profoundly change our approach to aging and positively affect quality-of-life and healthcare costs. Working across all sectors, we can democratize health and create a future where aging is full of potential.

Whether for disaster relief, to provide care from a distance, or to provide critical repairs or maintenance, avatar robots are the future of connection. The $10M ANA Avatar XPRIZE was a four-year-long, global competition aimed to create a non-autonomous robotic avatar system that could transport human presence to a remote location in real time.
In November 2022, 17 teams from 10 countries met in Long Beach, California to compete for first prize in the finals. It was ultimately Team NimbRo from the University of Bonn who took home the gold. Pollen Robotics of Bordeaux, France and Team Northeastern of Boston, Massachusetts were announced as the second and third-prize winners, respectively. The Long Beach gathering was XPRIZE’s first public testing event since the Ansari XPRIZE in 2004.
