No longer a working member of the royal family, Prince Harry has a new job: executive at a Silicon Valley startup.
The Duke of Sussex will become impact director for BetterUp Inc., the fast-growing mental health and training company, which the company plans to announce on Tuesday.
The role is the latest move into the business of the duke, who, with his wife, Meghan Markle, resigned as a full-time working member of the British monarchy and won his celebrity with a series of lucrative deals in recent months.
“I intend to help make an impact on people’s lives,” said Prince Harry in an email response to questions about why he is taking the job. “Proactive coaching offers endless possibilities for personal development, greater awareness and a better life in all directions.
In the BetterUp position, Prince Harry should participate in initiatives, including decisions on product strategies and charitable contributions, and publicly advocate on topics related to mental health.
