Summary
Andy Gibson is the founder and Head Gardener of Mindapples, a UK social enterprise that translates psychological research into practical wellbeing programs, elearning and an app used by schools, universities and major organisations. With 16 years of experience building social ventures and a parallel consultancy, he advises leaders on innovation, sustainable working and how to design for human minds—clients have ranged from investment banks to charities and national infrastructure projects. An author of award-winning books on applied psychology for business and early guides to social media for campaigning, he blends public-facing storytelling with pragmatic product and training delivery. He also co-founded School of Everything and other civic tech experiments, bringing a tinkerer’s mindset to both startups and large-scale change efforts. Formerly trained as a historian, he leverages historical perspectives on social change to navigate contemporary organisational challenges. He describes himself wryly as someone who thinks about thinking—and then builds the tools to help others do the same.
