Why Leaders Seek Her Out
Rare authority. Rarer range.
Few voices in health can speak with equal credibility to a room of scientists, a board of investors, and a gathering of faith leaders. Dr. Smith does all three.
Translate the Frontier.
Regenerative medicine, cell therapy, longevity, and AI are reshaping what medicine can do. Dr. Smith turns that science into ideas audiences understand, and futures they can believe in.
Build the Bridges No One Else Can.
The Cura Foundation, which Dr. Smith founded, partnered with the Vatican to launch Unite to Cure and Unite to Prevent, global movements that bring together physicians, scientists, patients, investors, and faith leaders around one goal: better health for all.
Prove It in the Real World.
More than $200 million raised. Six acquisitions completed. As Chairman and CEO of NeoStem, a NASDAQ-listed cell therapy company, Dr. Smith led it to #1 in the tri-state area on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500, two years running.
