Lisa Garrelts

Let‘s solve the problems that seem unsolvable. 🧠 I'm originally from Heidelberg, Germany, the city of philosophers. I grew up in a family of doctors, entrepreneurs, doers and scientists, where curiosity and exploration were dinner table topics long before I could spell “neuroscience.” Today I'm rooted between Switzerland and the South of France. That curiosity turned into a personal mission, when I dove deeply into psychology, neuroscience, evolution psychiatry, social anthropology and epigenetics, ultimately founding NeuroMynds, a holistic ecosystem, a global movement, built to empower neurodivergent individuals and reshape how we work, learn and connect. Neurodivergent people make up over 20% of the population, yet remain systemically excluded from workplaces and society. NeuroMynds is my way of changing that, not just through inclusion, but through evolution. With 17+ years in Transformation, Organizational Development and People & Culture across Life Sciences and Tech, I’ve been shaping cultures, building high-performing teams and driving real change with a creative edge and bias for action. My secret sauce? Humor, intuition and the ability to earn instant trust with authenticity. I’ve built global teams from scratch, hired 1,600+ talented people worldwide and cut attrition and time-to-hire through culture-led strategies. I blend operational rigor with human-first leadership, always connecting strategy to purpose, well-being and measurable impact. Now, I’m bringing this experience to NeuroMynds and beyond, combining my expertise in People & Culture with my passion for humans. I believe neuroinclusion is the future of innovation, organizations thrive when difference drives creativity, trust and belonging. When I’m not rethinking systems or advancing NeuroMynds, you’ll find me exploring new places, detoxing digitally in nature, connecting with inspiring people and chasing meaningful moments, always led by curiosity, kindness and a love for learning.
