From sick care to longevity, Dr Marcus Ranney's career over the past two decades has led him from the patient's bedside to a wider stage as he now creates global impact via systemic change by championing wellbeing.
Completing his Bachelors of Science and Medical degrees from University College Medical School in London his passion for extreme physiology has allowed him to conduct field research with expeditions taking him to the sides of Everest, the summit of Kilimanjaro, the Arctic, and the European Alps; he has served as a medical officer in the Royal Air Force and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
After practicing clinical medicine in London, in 2010, he made the transition to Mumbai where he has worked within the Healthcare and Life-sciences industry as a Strategic advisor and Investor with many MNC and national bellwether firms. Augmenting his contributions towards planetary health, Covid-19 brought him back to the front-lines, first as a medical volunteer and then via his not-for-profit social initiative MedsForMore.
He has authored a best-selling book, ‘At The Human Edge’, is a regular keynote speaker, hosts a popular digital talk show, and regularly contributes as a public health commentator.

A keen athlete and long-distance marathon runner, he holds a Guinness World Record for backward running(!) and thoroughly enjoys being a father to his two young children.
