A Global Force in AI-Driven Healthcare

Dr. Marie Charles has dedicated the past 20 years to building, leading and transforming multinational companies and organizations across more than 40 countries. Her work reflects a unique blend of medicine, international finance, global strategy and frontier technology. Regarded as one of the most prominent entrepreneurs in global AI-healthcare, she has earned the nickname “Joan of Arc” of 21st-century medicine for her relentless pursuit of scalable solutions that elevate human performance and expand access to care.

Today she is the founder and CEO of DeepX Elysium Inc., a Miami-based TechBio company shaping the future of precision performance. Its proprietary Precision Nutrient Intelligence℠ platform is a continuously learning AI engine designed to adapt an individual’s protocol in near real time. The system integrates new scientific data, shifting biometrics and changing mission stressors, initially serving elite performers such as special forces, space explorers, Olympic athletes and Fortune-100 leaders. The long-term objective is clear: democratize peak human performance at scale.

Influential Investor and Decision-Maker

Alongside her leadership at DeepX Elysium, Dr. Marie serves as an Investment Judge and Expert Advisor in AI Health to the European Commission and the $105B Horizon Fund (EIC). As a panel judge with direct approval authority over equity and blended finance investments, she evaluates and greenlights investments averaging $17M–$20M per company, mostly at Series A level. Her decisions shape the trajectory of Europe’s most promising deep-tech and health startups, placing her at the forefront of global innovation financing.

Her strategic influence extends further through her ongoing work as a UN Representative with official Consultative Status. She advises on AI and global health projects at the United Nations General Assembly and related UN bodies such as ECOSOC, contributing expert insight to some of the world’s most complex humanitarian and technological challenges.

Entrepreneurship and High-Level Leadership

Before DeepX Elysium, Dr. Marie founded and led the Tiger Investment Group in Hong Kong, a high-impact venture fund focused on healthcare, energy and environmental transactions. Tiger became known as one of the most innovative closed private wealth venture funds worldwide. During her decade of leadership, she became the first Managing General Partner of such a fund invited to deliver the Plenary Address at the prestigious AVCJ Private Equity Forum. Additional notable invitations include the Family Office Investment Forum in Zurich, the Private Equity Healthcare Investors Conference in New York, and the Credit Suisse Global Investment Forum in Singapore as one of Credit Suisse’s globally selected “Distinguished Speakers”.

Humanitarian Leadership and Philanthropy

Dr. Marie’s global impact is equally defined by her humanitarian achievements. She founded Global Medic Force (The International Centre for Equal Healthcare Access), a groundbreaking organization that deploys thousands of highly trained medical professionals to developing nations. With 2,150 volunteer physicians from 18 Western nations, the initiative has transferred over US$8B of medical human capital, equivalent to more than 30,000 man-years, into underserved regions across four continents. These teams operate in environments that are remote, hostile, non-permissive and deeply complex. No government in the world holds a comparable volunteer medical resource.

The scale and courage of this work earned her the Medal of Honor from the President of Vietnam in 2007 for saving more lives than any physician in the nation’s history.

A Distinguished Global Speaker

Dr. Marie is a sought-after keynote and “distinguished speaker” at leading global health, investment, academic and policy conferences. Her speaking résumé includes the United Nations, WHO, Credit Suisse Global Investment Forum, USAID, The Aspen Institute, Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Duke, Columbia, UCLA, The Royal Geographical Society, J&J Foundation, Wellcome Trust, JP Morgan Chase, NHS, IFC, PEPFAR and many more. Audiences across continents applaud her for clarity, depth, storytelling and for the profound personal impact her presentations leave behind.

Media Recognition and Global Influence

International media have chronicled her extraordinary path from high finance and innovation to frontline humanitarian missions across four continents. Coverage spans The Economist, BBC, PBS, The American Journal of Medicine, Singapore Business Times, South China Morning Post, Huffington Post and many others. Her journey includes surviving kidnapping attempts, epidemics, revolutions, civil wars and disaster zones while saving millions of lives.
