Sweet Share, Inc.

Founder, CEO

2024 – Present

At Sweet Share Inc., our mission is to champion the needs and rights of individuals living with Type 1 diabetes through strategic investments, active corporate engagement, and creation of community connections. We believe that by becoming shareholders in leading companies within the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and technology sectors, we can influence and drive meaningful changes that improve the lives of those affected by Type 1 diabetes.

Our approach combines financial acumen with passionate advocacy. We purchase shares in companies that have the potential to impact the Type 1 diabetes community, using our position as shareholders to advocate for more affordable insulin and supplies, better access to diabetes management technologies, and increased investment in research and development for a cure. We engage directly with company leadership to promote policies and practices that prioritize patient health, enhance product accessibility, and support ongoing innovation in diabetes care.

Through collaborative dialogue, targeted shareholder proposals, and persistent advocacy, we aim to hold corporations accountable to the diabetes community. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that advancements in diabetes care are not only made but are accessible and beneficial to all who need them. By leveraging the power of investment for social good, Sweet Share Inc. is committed to creating a world where individuals with Type 1 diabetes can thrive.

We also work to make connections between members of the Type 1 community and the organizations that can help them live full, healthy lives.
