Toronto, Ontario

Philanthropist and business leader Lynn Posluns has helped position Canada at the vanguard of women’s cognitive health. Having identified a pressing need for a sex- and gender-based lens to brain aging research, she founded Women’s Brain Health Initiative, a unique non-profit that funds critical studies and makes the results more accessible to the general public. Praised for her visionary leadership in protecting women’s cognitive vitality, she additionally contributed to establishing global initiatives and a one-of-a-kind research chair. Beyond health care, her generosity of time and spirit extends to fashion, the arts and the Jewish community.
