Brian Ferguson
President & CEO of Arena Labs
Young Leader '20
Brian Ferguson has spent his career working in high-performance organizations, learning from leaders and decision-makers in national security, the military, and technology. He has used those experiences to build Arena Labs, a company pioneering the field of High Performance Medicine ®. Arena Labs uses state-of-the-art training and technology solutions to bring the science of peak performance, creative mastery, and elite teams to modern healthcare and surgical teams. Click here to read his full bio.
Q. Tell us about your vision for Arena Labs in the coming years. The company’s mission, to bring the science of peak performance and elite teams to modern healthcare and surgery, must be particularly important and challenging this year.
"Yes, COVID-19 has elevated the narrative of our work at Arena Labs in ways we could not imagine. During my final year in the military, I met a heart surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic who invited me into his operating room. On the one hand, I was struck by the technological advancement of modern surgery. On the other, I was profoundly surprised that there was no focus on stress management, dealing with anxiety, and performing under pressure in this high-pressure, high-stakes environment.
We provide elite military units, professional athletes, and world-class performers with an entire suite of training, tools, and technology to manage stress and effectively perform under pressure.
Why don’t we do that for the frontline teams in medicine who take care of our society? That concept is the premise of our work at Arena Labs, and at a higher level, we believe that the future of world-class healthcare is not in policy or regulation, but in building high-performing teams.
The pandemic, and the stress + burnout we’re starting to see, has made our work all the more timely and relevant. It’s a sacred mission we take seriously."

"For White House staff and senior visiting officials and journalists, the coronavirus outbreak in Donald Trump’s inner circle has become like a whodunnit amid a shortage of information and mounting anxiety. (...)"
"The unedifying spectacle of Tuesday night’s presidential debate produced some shock, some sadness and some weariness among American allies and rivals alike on Wednesday. (...)"
"Un président qui a défait en un temps record le Covid-19 et déjà aux affaires, impatient d’en découdre à nouveau avec son adversaire démocrate, Joe Biden : telle est l’image que Donald Trump a continué d’alimenter mardi 6 octobre après son retour spectaculaire à la Maison Blanche, la veille, en fin de journée. (...)"
