Bruce Cryer has spent more than thirty years training and coaching innovative approaches to maximizing health and human performance. He was named President and CEO of HeartMath in 2000, having helped launch the non-profit Institute of HeartMath with founder Doc Childre in 1991.
Bruce was the key architect of programs that incorporate HeartMath’s innovative biomedical research into practical tools and strategies to enhance health, performance, creativity, innovation, and productivity for both the individual and the organization.
Bruce was lead author of the acclaimed Harvard Business Review article, entitled “Pull the Plug on Stress” (July 2003) which was republished by HBR in 2015.
He has worked with leadership teams at organizations such as The World Bank, Stanford Business School, NASA, Mayo Clinic, Shell, Unilever, Cisco, Johnson & Johnson, Duke University Health System, and dozens of other corporations, health systems and government agencies across the US.
Mr. Cryer is co-author of one of the first management books to draw a research link between stress/resilience/leadership performing in his seminal book From Chaos to Coherence: The Power to Change Performance.
