Andrew S Nevin

Dr. Andrew S. Nevin, PhD has had a unique 34-year+ global career as a thinker and a doer, working at the complex intersection of economics, strategy, capital markets, social enterprises, and investment and in his professional career has previously lived in Africa, Asia, North America, and Europe. He is now based in Texas.

His interest in the Flourishing concept arose from the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, which demonstrated how the economic and financial system is not fit-for-purpose. Along with co-author Elizabeth Neill, he is co-Founder of the Public Policy sub-group within the Flourishing Community of Practice of the Program for Human Flourishing at Harvard University. He is now combining Flourishing with the concept of Brainomics, a venture born out of Center for BrainHealth that joins congitive neuroscinece, health, economics and policy science to examine the exponential economic impact when interventions to improve brain health and performance are scaled up. Outside of work, Andrew flourishes with his sports and a new hobby as he prepares for retirement – chess.
