LONDON, July 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MindBerry, a leading startup provider of comprehensive mental health care benefits for employers at leading multinational companies, including Munich Re, today announced that Paul Ross has been appointed as Non-Executive Director with the goal of building its brand. Ross is also licensee of MindBerry in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Ross was recently Acting Group Head of Marketing & Corporate Communications at Banque Saudi Fransi. Previously, he was Director Middle East, LONDON Advertising.
"Companies understand that access to quality mental health care is one of today's most important issues, in terms of both individual wellbeing and economic impact," said Ross. "COVID-19 is an accelerant of trends already underway. The pandemic underlined the role businesses have to play in supporting mental health and wellbeing and companies are taking it seriously."
"I am thrilled and privileged to be joining the talented team at MindBerry," says Ross. "At this moment in time, I can't think of a more powerful mission than helping deliver a comprehensive solution that this part of the healthcare system has previously found hard to access." "I want to help make MindBerry one of most aspirational and accessible global healthtech brands."
MindBerry, based mainly in the UK, participated in Virgin StartUp's CrowdBoost Accelerator in 2019 and expects to secure Series A funding in 2021. Funds will be used to help accelerate plans to expand global reach, network of providers, and build an amazing global tech company.
The platform was founded by Sandra de Monte, a former counsellor at Royal College of Art, London. Ms. De Monte attended Harvard University for Global Health Delivery in association with Harvard X and did her clinical training during her postgraduate studies in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling at Regent's University in London.
Ross said: "MindBerry is purpose-driven and exists to make a positive difference to people's lives. It combines my entrepreneurship with the growing wellness trend. It's a great digital health business whose time is now."
