Josh Roman

Josh Roman is the Executive Director and co-founder of Mindshift Recovery, supporting the nonprofit's mission to make evidence-based recovery tools accessible to everyone. People use Mindshift's community and daily coaching calls to change their relationship with substances, screens, food, and other unwanted behaviors.

Prior to starting Mindshift Recovery, Josh co-founded MindSciences with Dr. Jud Brewer, building award-winning, evidence-based behavioral health apps Unwinding Anxiety, Eat Right Now, and Craving to Quit into some of the most widely used neuroscience-backed behavior change apps in the world. After MindSciences was acquired in 2020, he served as SVP of Mental & Behavioral Health and SVP of Digital Therapeutics & Strategic Partnerships at Sharecare (SHCR), a publicly traded digital health company.

He also founded College Journey, which provides tools for anxious parents and students navigating the stress of college admissions and helping them flourish in high school, college, and beyond, and Open Mind AI, a digital incubator leveraging the latest technology towards solving pervasive mental & behavioral health challenges.

Across all of his work, the common thread is using the best of what technology offers to support human wellbeing, not undermine it.

Josh holds a degree from Princeton University and has spent 20+ years at the intersection of digital health, behavior change, and product-led growth.
