Andrew Bastawrous is a social entrepreneur, eye surgeon, and professor in global health. He has delivered two main stage TED talks, amassing over 2.5 million views, along with several TEDx talks.
His 2014 TED Talk sparked global media interest and marked the inception of Peek Vision, a social enterprise focused on addressing the issue of over 1 billion people living with avoidable sight loss despite available treatments.
This initiative stemmed from Andrew's personal experiences as a child, shaping his career as a surgeon, researcher, entrepreneur, and movement builder.
Andrew's presentations combine science, personal narratives, and storytelling to challenge conventional thinking. He emphasises the importance of purpose, aligning organisations and movements around a clear vision, and making these concepts practical for audiences.
His work has garnered recognition from various prestigious organisations, including TED, Rolex, UBS, Ashoka, and the World Economic Forum.
In 2023, Andrew received an OBE in the King’s Birthday Honours and the Tällberg SNF Eliasson Award, a global prize recognising exceptional leadership.
