Dr Angela Lim, CEO and Co-Founder of Clearhead

Dr Angela Lim shares her journey from medicine to entrepreneurship, driven by a determination to fix a mental health system struggling with long wait times, rising youth need, and inefficiencies that left too many people without timely support. She reflects on building Clearhead, a platform designed to make personalised care accessible, and the realities of scaling a mission-led company without compromising quality. Angela also speaks candidly about the role of augmented intelligence in mental health - not as a perfect solution, but as a meaningful step forward - and offers grounded insights on leadership, focus and hiring shaped by her experience navigating one of New Zealand's most challenging sectors.
