“I intend to help create an impact in people’s lives. Proactive coaching provides endless possibilities for personal development, increased awareness, and an all-around better life,” he said.

Harry said he has personally been using BetterUp’s app and has been a coach for a couple of months.

Harry is expected to have input into initiatives including product strategy decisions and charitable contributions, and advocate publicly on topics related to mental health.
