BRIAN MYERSON (Co-founder)
The inspiration behind ShareLife, Brian is a kidney and pancreas transplant recipient from a deceased donor whose wonderful family had made the kind and generous decision to donate his organs.
After 35 years of diabetes he succumbed to diabetic nephropathy and commenced dialysis. His experiences during dialysis, with people dying and others becoming depressed due to a shortage of donated organs, led him to dedicate his efforts to saving many more lives of those suffering from organ failure.
While searching for a solution to Australia’s extremely low organ donation rate (10.5 dpmp in 2002) it was suggested he meet with Marvin Weinman. The meeting on 8 April 2003 profoundly affected both their lives as they set about finding ways to establish Australia as a leader in organ donation for transplantation.
As an MBA graduate, Brian has worked for Standard Bank of South Africa, Bank of Montreal in Canada and Hill Samuel Australia, and then directed family companies in construction and development.
