Top SchoolShaun Conway is the founder and CEO of IXO, a decade-long venture building the "Internet of Impacts"—sovereign, AI-enabled infrastructure that links intent, action and cryptographically verified real-world outcomes. He combines clinical training and public-health leadership with deep experience in impact finance, digital identity, tokens and governance to design trustworthy systems for global health, climate and livelihoods. Shaun has founded multiple ventures and advised WHO, UNICEF, the World Bank and DFID, translating frontline health-system practice into scalable digital public goods.
