Bio:

Mandy Salomon, Co-founder of Mentia

Mandy was well-known in the theatre and television world in her home country, Australia when she made an unusual and unexpected pivot. After raising her family, she went back to university for the first time in 30 years, where she embarked on a Ph.D. to solve what she saw was a big unanswered question: how
can people living with dementia lead a digital life? She built a software prototype that she took to the United States and built Mentia, a San Francisco-based software company that focuses on helping people with cognitive decline find their voice.
