Brian Chappon is the definition of a scrappy social entrepreneur
and global citizen. A competitive athlete and seasoned expert in
capital markets around the world, he takes an international
perspective to building economic ecosystems and promoting health &
wellness.
Brian founded his career as a volunteer and intern with NGOs
providing disaster relief. Seeing the economic impact of those
environmental events led to a new focus on the need for sustainable
entrepreneurship and investment ecosystems in developing countries.
As a consultant and head of capital markets, he raised funds and
created models to analyze high-return projects and de-risk
public-private partnership investments. He built networks of
insurance companies, PE/Financial service providers, governments,
NGOs, and innovative projects to build wealth, jobs, and
opportunities in new markets in in the Middle East, Africa, and
Asia.
The mix of extended international travel, stress, and commitment to
marathon training took a toll on his health. After the recession of
2008 he hit max burnout and went from what felt like being on top
of the world to becoming homeless and living in a 24hour Starbucks
in New York City. After shaking off the pain of failure Brian took
a sabbatical to teach spinning in a high-end studio. During his
time of reflecting he heard of the mental and physical health
issues that fellow road warriors faced while traveling, and the
idea to create a health studio in an airport was formed. He is now
combining his passion for fitness, experience in entrepreneurship,
and vision for global health to launch CENTRED-Wellness.com, the
first travel health and wellness platform changing the way the
world will travel during and after the global Covid-19 crises.
