Elisha established Prospira Global in 2021 in response to demand from leading global companies and funders seeking to understand, design, implement and measure effective mental health solutions. 

Across her career Elisha has established a number of national and global initiatives, and worked for  organisations including the UK Department for International Development, PWC, the Overseas Development Institute and The World Bank.  She was the founding UK Director of the Global Poverty Project (now “Global Citizen”), and following her own personal experience of mental ill health she was appointed as Campaign Director for the Head Together Campaign, spearheaded by The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.

In 2017 Elisha drew upon her experience to understand the huge gap that exists in addressing mental health around the world and brought together the team to establish United for Global Mental Health. 

She was instrumental in creating the Global Business Collaboration for Better Workplace Mental Health, launched at Davos in 2021 to create a platform for collaboration between businesses and mental health experts.  She has also been a regular member of the World Economic Forum Global Futures Council on Mental Health, and Co-Chaired the Global Futures Council on Neuro-technologies in 2019.  She was honoured for her leadership in 2020 when she was appointed as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. 

She also sits on the Kate Spade New York Social Impact Council and Selena Gomez’s Rare Impact Fund Mental Health Advisory Council. 

She holds an MBA from TRIUM (NYU New York, LSE London, HEC Paris), and an MSc in Development Management from the London School of Economics.
