Prince Harry’s new job might be in Silicon Valley. However, the position might send him back to his hometown of London, England.
Earlier this year, the Duke of Sussex revealed that he had accepted a job as the chief impact officer at the coaching and mental health company, BetterUp. And now, the company is looking to expand across the pond. “Demand is pulling us into these markets," BetterUp chief executive Alexi Robichaux told the Times of London. Per the outlet, Robichaux also revealed that the duke has “provided some helpful insights and tips” regarding the company’s decision.
After joining the team, Prince Harry released a statement in a blog post on the company’s website.
“My goal is to lift up critical dialogues around mental health, build supportive and compassionate communities, and foster an environment for honest and vulnerable conversations. And my hope is to help people develop their inner strength, resilience, and confidence,” he wrote. “I firmly believe that focusing on and prioritizing our mental fitness unlocks potential and opportunity that we never knew we had inside of us. As the Royal Marine Commandos say, ‘It’s a state of mind.’ We all have it in us.”
