Kirsty Barany - Gibson ( 科斯蒂 - كيرستي - कर्स्टी - קירס) shared thisThis is 48! Grateful for the people who bring light into my life. For the random dots that connect in the most magical ways and for those who help make them happen. For the gift of imagination. For opportunities that arrive dressed as chaos. For the courage to create what doesn’t exist… yet. For the blessing of being a mother. For my husband who takes on every challenge by my side as we build this beautiful family. And for the warmth of it all.

For the first time, we’re launching a 9-day platform where family offices, investors, and global dealmakers converge in one city. This is not an event. This is the start of a movement. Co-hosted by Dubai Ventures and MXU Entertainment, we begin with the Miami F1 Trade Mission (April 29 – May 3) “Where Capital Accelerates” A curated experience designed for one purpose: meaningful deal flow. Private environments where real conversations happen: – Investor dinners that drive alignment – Yacht settings where relationships form – Jet hangar gatherings with decision-makers – Direct access to F1 weekend as the shared backdrop Because deals don’t happen in panels. They happen in the right environments. On May 4 → a private VIP pre-launch reception → officially opening the Global Family Office Investment Summit From May 5–7 → the Global Family Office Investment Summit at Trump International, Sunny Isles → bringing together a broader global capital network during the same week Together, this becomes the foundation of Miami Family Office Week — a new platform for capital, relationships, and cross-border opportunity. Proud to be partnering with the Global Family Office Investment Summit, with support from the Miami Chamber of Commerce Dubai and the Miami Downtown Development Authority Miami DDA If you’re serious about being in the right rooms at the right time… this is where it begins.

Kirsty Barany - Gibson ( 科斯蒂 - كيرستي - कर्स्टी - קירס) shared thisI'm thrilled to be part of the Culture+ Collective (CIEN+, Human Dot Plus, CIEN+ Health & Culture FWD), an ecosystem built to unlock extraordinary growth through the power of culture. I joined because culture isn’t a trend, it’s the growth engine. The omnicultural mainstream is reshaping every category, and the brands that will win are the ones embedding Cultural Intelligence® into strategy, not treating it as an afterthought. When culture leads, growth follows! If you’re thinking about how to stay relevant, build trust, and drive growth in today’s market, reach out for a conversation, Cultural Intelligence® is becoming the strategic lever that separates the brands that keep up from the brands that lead. What this group is building is bigger than any one industry, it’s a shift in mindset. Grateful to contribute alongside people who are changing the trajectory of what’s possible—and redefining what “next” looks like. - Liliana “Lili” Gil, Enrique Arbelaez, Roberto Ramos & Claudia Avans - https://lnkd.in/gRipUnad

Kirsty Barany - Gibson ( 科斯蒂 - كيرستي - कर्स्टी - קירס) shared thisI can’t recommend this book enough. Reading Deep Future: Creating Technology That Matters by Pablos Holman felt like someone finally putting words to instincts I’ve trusted for a long time. I’ve always been a bit drawn to problems that seem unsolvable—not because I believe I have special answers, but because I’ve learned that “unsolvable” often just means we haven’t looked at the problem from the right angle yet. Healthcare is one of those. This book didn’t change how I think, it strengthened it. It reinforced my focus on root causes over incremental fixes, and on what’s possible over what merely feels realistic, especially when systems themselves are part of the problem. Holman’s idea of being a POSSIBILIST isn’t optimism. It’s agency. A reminder that the future doesn’t happen to us, we build it. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazon Link: https://a.co/d/7u9q3xa

Kirsty Barany - Gibson ( 科斯蒂 - كيرستي - कर्स्टी - קירס) reacted on thisKirsty Barany - Gibson ( 科斯蒂 - كيرستي - कर्स्टी - קירס) reacted on thisAs Breast Cancer Awareness Month concludes, I'd encourage healthcare leaders, advocates, and organizations to evaluate October through a different lens. Not simply: How many people did we reach? How many impressions did our campaign generate? How much visibility did we create? But: What will be different for patients because of what we did? Will someone receive a more timely evaluation? Will a patient better understand her treatment options? Will survivors have greater access to rehabilitation, surveillance, and supportive care? Will people who previously encountered barriers find a more navigable path through the healthcare system? Visibility has value. But visibility is not the same as impact. And the patients we serve need our commitment in November just as much as they need it in October. The most meaningful measure of awareness is what continues after the campaign ends. #HealthcareLeadership #BreastCancerAwareness #PatientAdvocacy #SurvivorshipCare #HealthEquity #DrSheriPerspective

As founding director of the The Leonum Institute for AI and Emerging Technologies at The Catholic University of America, I’m bringing research, formation, and venture building together—and building a consortium of university venture studios to carry that work further. The timing is extraordinary. We can put advanced AI to work throughout the process of innovation: finding connections across research, building and testing prototypes, and helping institutions turn promising discoveries into things people can use. That takes a team that understands AI systems, venture design, and the stubborn mechanics of institutional adoption. The venture studios I’ve built or operated have created $10B in value. Behind that number are people who kept turning the improbable into Tuesday’s work. We’re bringing that spirit, and serious operating experience, to Leonum. Universities contain whole constellations of knowledge that have scarcely met one another. A discovery in a laboratory, a philosopher’s troublesome question, a clinician’s daily frustration. With researchers, experienced builders, and institutional partners working together, those encounters can become the beginning of something useful. Our studio combines hands-on venture building with technology transfer: understanding demand, developing products, assembling teams, and finding a sustainable route into use. A company, a license, a partnership, an open resource—each needs someone to carry it beyond the promising demonstration. Across the consortium, universities will be able to share specialist expertise, operators, and tools. The ambition is for each project to strengthen the next: better methods, better questions, and more people capable of building. Faculty gain a route into practice, students learn alongside experienced builders, and universities develop new ways to sustain their missions. The Catholic intellectual tradition belongs inside this workshop. It gives us a rich account of how people learn, exercise judgment, work, and flourish together. Those insights should shape what our technologies do, how we test them, and whose lives they help enlarge. This is what excites me: advanced technical capability, deep research, experienced builders, and a serious understanding of the human person, brought into the same undertaking. There is a peculiar electricity in finding people who make your imagination less lonely. A friendship acquires a project. A sleeping discovery finds its accomplices. If you have research ready for its next life, an institutional problem worth solving, or the desire to help build or fund this capacity, send me a note. Tell me what you’re working on. Let’s see what we can wake up together.

These questions were at the center of a recent symposium hosted by Catholic University's The Leonum Institute for AI and Emerging Technologies and Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. Bringing together voices from faith, technology and business, the event explored how we can navigate AI’s growing influence while keeping human dignity and purpose at the forefront. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4zfMTyA

Kirsty Barany - Gibson ( 科斯蒂 - كيرستي - कर्स्टी - קירס) liked thisSurvival and recovery are not synonymous. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we celebrate survivorship—and rightfully so. But what happens when the treatment that saves your life leaves you managing a chronic condition for the rest of it? For me, that condition is lymphedema. As both a physician and breast cancer survivor living with lymphedema, I understand that the impact extends far beyond visible swelling. It affects daily activities, emotional well-being, financial stability, and something we rarely discuss—the extraordinary amount of time patients devote to managing their condition. I recently had the privilege of joining Kelly Sturm, PT, DPT, OnCS, CLT-LANA, for a LE&RN Fireside Chat entitled “Beyond the Swelling: Understanding Life with Lymphedema.” Together, we explored the realities of living with lymphedema, the importance of early surveillance and intervention, and why access to credible information, knowledgeable providers, and appropriate resources matters. One message I hope resonates with every patient, survivor, caregiver, and healthcare professional: Completing cancer treatment should never mean the end of our commitment to a patient’s care. My sincere appreciation to Dr. Ajit Muley and the Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) for providing a platform to elevate this conversation, and to Kelly for bringing her clinical expertise and passion for patient care. I invite you to watch the conversation, share it with someone who may benefit, and help us extend awareness beyond the diagnosis. ▶️ Watch the recording through LE&RN’s original post below. #BreastCancerSurvivorship #Lymphedema #PatientAdvocacy #CancerSurvivorship #BreastCancerAwarenessMonthKirsty Barany - Gibson ( 科斯蒂 - كيرستي - कर्स्टी - קירס) liked thisBreast Cancer Awareness Month is also a time to recognize the challenges that can continue after treatment. For many survivors, that includes life with lymphedema. 💗 In this LE&RN Fireside Chat, physician and patient advocate Dr. Sheri Yolanda Prentiss joins physical therapist Kelly Sturm, PT, DPT, OnCS, CLT-LANA for an honest conversation about the daily realities of lymphedema, exercise myths, the hidden demands of self-care, and learning to advocate for yourself. Whether you’re navigating lymphedema, supporting someone you love, or caring for patients, this conversation offers practical insights and a reminder that you deserve support through treatment and beyond. ▶️ Watch the recorded conversation: https://lnkd.in/eJ___nYx #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #Lymphedema #BreastCancerSurvivorship

But here’s the strategy everyone misses: It wasn’t just about a splashy design. It was about making the benefits clear and personal. In Halo Top’s first design, info was everywhere. Protein at the top. “Light” in the middle. A bunch of numbers at the bottom. And those numbers were confusing. For example, is 7 a good amount of protein? I dunno! So Halo Top created a hierarchy. Now your eye starts on calorie count. Then they made it per PINT instead of per SERVING. Because they know: Serving sizes feel meaningless and tricky, but a pint is concrete and undeniable. Then secondary information followed: the type of ice cream, the nod to protein. Now people understood the distinction. They could envision eating it. (Maybe the whole pint!) Result: Halo Top went from obscure to $347 million in sales in 2017, triggering a raft of competitors and an acquisition. To succeed, step back and ask: “What makes me truly different and better?” Then lead with that. If this post was helpful, please share it and follow Jason Feifer for more. 🎉 GROW FASTER!
