Matt Vogl, MPH

Chief Executive Officer

Matt’s passion for mental health led him to found the National Mental Health Innovation Center (NMHIC) at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus, in 2015. As Executive Director, Matt led a team of committed professionals to help accelerate the pace at which new technologies are responsibly developed to better treat and prevent mental illness, promote mental wellness and destroy stigma. He considers himself the luckiest person in the world to now be able to work alongside the former NMHIC team at VXVY.

Matt has become a leading national voice on mental health and the use of technology to improve people’s mental health. Matt has lectured and been featured in the media internationally, including keynotes at the World Conference on VR and Industry in Nanchang China, and a TEDx talk on the use of VR in mental health.

Before taking on leadership of the NMHIC startup, Matt served as Deputy Director of the University of Colorado Depression Center and managed the national program expansion for the Nurse-Family Partnership. Matt earned degrees from Marquette University and the University of Minnesota and now lives in beautiful Golden Colorado.

In those rare times when he’s not working, odds are you can find him immersed in one of his other passions; family time, photography, kayaking, collecting really weird glasses and cheering for the St. Louis Cardinals.
