Ryan Shadrick Wilson has been referred to as “the good food whisperer” because of the quiet yet significant role she has played in launching many of the innovative ideas and companies shaping the food revolution.  After a decade as a leading food attorney at international law firm Hogan Lovells, Ryan turned her energy to launching Michelle Obama’s health initiative, serving as the Chief Strategy Officer and General Counsel of Partnership for a Healthier America.  She then founded Boardwalk Collective, which advises CEOs, philanthropists, and investors committed to creating a healthier, happier, and more connected world.  She also serves on the board of directors of several companies. At the Milken Institute, Ryan serves as Senior Advisor to the Center for Public Health, where she works with the team to elevate sustainable solutions to health crises around the globe.  Ryan has launched the Institute’s new “Feeding Change” program which engages policy makers, corporate leaders, investors, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and academics to catalyze efforts to improve the access and affordability of healthy, sustainable food worldwide. Ryan graduated with honors from Princeton University and Harvard Law School.
