Andy Puddicombe
Co-Founder of Headspace & Former Buddhist Monk
Setting off to become a monk at the age of 22, his meditation training took him all over the world, culminating with full ordination at a Tibetan Monastery in the Himalayas. Ten years later, Andy returned to the UK with the singular wish to demystify meditation, to make it accessible, relevant and beneficial to as many people as possible.
He set up Headspace in 2009 with mission to get as many people in the world as possible to take 10 minutes out of their day, to practice a simple and easy-to-learn meditation technique and experiences the scientifically proven benefits of meditation.
