BRIANNA BELLA-HYMAN

IT'S BETTER TO BE A PIRATE THAN JOIN THE NAVY

Curious skeptic. Geeking out on how systems thinking and deep tech can help us navigate the world's wicked problems.

My mind operates like a systems thinker and strategist, which is most jazzed when I'm working at the intersection of technology, policy, and human-centered solutions—tackling everything from food and healthcare reform to climate finance and emerging tech. I geek out on complex problems, connecting dots across industries, and building solutions to really big problems.

 

Currently, I’m the CEO of Hyman Health, where I lead a functional health literacy ecosystem designed to help people take ownership of their health. I'm also a Strategic Advisor to the Food Fix Campaign, a 501c3 working to fix the broken food and healthcare systems in Washington, D.C.

 

Before diving into health and food policy, I spent years in climate finance, where I co-founded and ran Reneum, a climate investment platform that launched the first renewable energy-backed token to leverage alternative financial systems to democratize clean energy investing. I’ve worked across blockchain, energy markets, and sustainable finance, leading deal sourcing and carbon strategies in Asia’s energy transition and advising global clean energy initiatives.

 

My background is a mix of finance, sustainability, and deep tech, having worked in M&A and private equity advisory at KPMG and the Royal Bank of Canada. I’ve also advised the UNDP on deep-tech innovation in Southeast Asia, helping to identify scalable technologies for sustainable development.

 

I hold a degree in Behavioral Economics from McGill University and a Master’s in Social Entrepreneurship from Oxford University, and am currently studying Public Health Policy at Columbia University, in pursuits of my PhD. But I'm hardly an academic; most of what I’ve learned has come from building things, breaking things, and figuring shit out along the way.

 

I’ve lived and worked across six continents, and when I’m not deep in research or visioning a better future, I’m probably chasing adventure—biohacking, skiing, riding, or finding new ways to push any boundaries I can find. Whether in health, sustainability, or innovation, I’m here to challenge the status quo, build what’s missing, and have a damn good time doing it.
