Richard Lui

Richard Lui is an award-winning news anchor, board director, and business founder whose work in the care economy began in 2015—built on two decades in corporate business and two decades in global media.

He is principal at CAREGenome, a large scale primary dataset on the last three feet of care. Based at the University of Michigan and modeled on ImageNet and the Human Genome Project, it is exploring 10+ disease value chains in AI, B2B, and public-sector applications across the $5 trillion care economy. He is also Chief Impact Officer of the Caregiving Moonshot in partnership with Startup Health, an action-based founder platform. Lui also co-founded and patented a Citi-backed global payments backbone and led a Silicon Valley AI firm to exit.

A longtime caregiver himself, Lui directed two Oscar- and Grammy-qualifying films on mental health and caregiving that premiered at the White House, U.S. Congress, United Nations, and European Parliament. He is the author of "Enough About Me," a bestselling book on caregiving that received over a dozen literary awards. He serves as a caregiving ambassador for the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, AARP, and the Alzheimer’s Association, and is a U.S. State Department Traveling Speaker and NACD Board Leadership Fellow. He is a five-time Peabody and Edward R. Murrow honored anchor at NBCU News Group and formerly CNN Worldwide.
