First launched in 2009, the Singularity Executive Program has helped thousands of leaders re-frame their perspective and develop a deeper understanding of the technologies shaping the future.
The program's purpose is to inspire radically new ways of thinking — the kind of mindset necessary for starting new companies or reshaping organizations.
The Executive Program takes place at the Ameswell Hotel in Mountain View, California, down the street from legendary NASA research labs and Google’s headquarters.
The location is ideal for our intimate cohorts to spend time together inside and outside, with moderate weather year round.
Elie Losleben is a dynamic speaker guiding leaders in navigating change while preserving well-being. With over a decade of experience leading Code Innovation in global development projects, she's backed by UNICEF, UK Department for International Development and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Elie's insight from post-conflict Liberia emphasized well-being's role in impactful work, inspiring her to teach aid workers to combat burnout. She's empowered thousands in person and online, and rooted in neuroscience and trauma research, Elie teaches evidence-based strategies for personal resilience in the face of stress. Holder of a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and a BA from the American University in Cairo, she's also integrated well-being into Singularity University programs since 2014. Elie's an Edmund Hillary Fellow, based between the Bay Area and New Zealand, championing effective leadership and well-being amidst rapid change.
Dr. Chander is a physician, neuroscientist, and futurist who trained at Harvard, UCSF, UCSD, and the Salk Institute. She is Chair of Neuroscience and Faculty of Medicine at Singularity University, Visiting Scholar in Medicine (Bioinformatics) at Stanford (where she was on the Anesthesiology faculty for 8 years), and Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council GeoTech Center. Her postdoctoral research allowed her to use light-activated ion channels inserted in DNA (optogenetics) to study sleep and consciousness switches in brains. Her goal is to understand neural mechanisms of consciousness, the evolution of human consciousness secondary to human augmentation, and how mapping consciousness in humans may help us to understand consciousness and intelligence in other life forms (e.g. animals, non-terrestrials).
Greg Sherwin takes a human-centered approach towards solving complex systems problems at the ecosystem level through collaborative leadership, diverse teams, innovative technology, and experimental data. His career spans executive technology, data, and product leadership roles at startups, global corporates, and academic research laboratories—mostly in Silicon Valley but also Europe, Africa, and Asia. Greg's journey includes co-founding LearnStreet, an award-winning edtech startup backed by Khosla Ventures, serving as VPE at Singularity University headquarters from 2015 to 2018, and most recently co-leading a global Center of Excellence for experimentation and organizational learning at Farfetch in Lisbon. His scientific and academic background includes pioneering work in satellite communication control systems at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and experimental research in high-energy particle physics at Stanford's SLAC Linear Accelerator Center. Greg earned a degree in electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Illinois at Chicago and researched neuroscience in the University of California, Berkeley Bioengineering PhD program. He also co-authored one of the first books on Internet public relations, which became a university textbook. Today you will also find him researching AI policy, mentoring startups and scaleups, and providing advisory board leadership to The House of Beautiful Business, Sónar Lisboa, Planetiers, and the Peace-Led Climate Friendly Sustainable Development Forum in Singapore.
