Dr. Vivek Murthy, the 19th and 21st Surgeon General of the United States, is a world-renowned health authority and transformative leader whose groundbreaking work has reshaped public dialogue and organizational strategies around mental health, workplace well-being, social connection, and the impact of technology on health. Serving two non-consecutive terms in this esteemed role, Dr. Murthy has led landmark initiatives — particularly on mental health, workplace well-being, loneliness, and youth mental health in the digital age — that have shaped government and organizational policy on a global level, including in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Australia. He also serves as the co-chair of the WHO Commission on Social Connection, the first global effort to improve health, education, and economic outcomes by leveraging the power of stronger human connection. His visionary 2022 Surgeon General’s Framework on Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being has been widely adopted by organizations eager to enhance employee engagement and performance, while his 2023 report on loneliness has redefined how businesses, educational institutions, and community organizations view social health as integral to success.
Beyond his government service, Dr. Murthy has been a trusted advisor to leading companies such as Airbnb, Netflix, and Estée Lauder on pandemic preparedness, organizational wellness, and the evolving landscape of technology’s impact on mental health. His insights have also informed boards and initiatives at the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, the NCAA, RAND Corporation, and the Kaiser Family Foundation. A New York Times bestselling author of Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World, Dr. Murthy masterfully blends deep scientific research with practical leadership strategies. His thought-provoking perspective pieces in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and the New England Journal of Medicine further underscore his ability to connect complex ideas with actionable insights for leaders across all sectors.
Dr. Murthy’s innovative approach extends into creative realms as well, having hosted the popular “House Calls with Dr. Vivek Murthy” podcast, orchestrating the healing musical production Songs for Hope at the Kennedy Center, and developing the Surgeon General’s Recipes for Connection to build community through shared experiences around food. His impressive academic background from Harvard and Yale, combined with extensive clinical and research experience, rounds out a profile that uniquely bridges public health, personal well-being, and organizational success.
