Meet the founder

Barry Ross Rinehart

CEO & Founder
Hi. I’m Barry Ross Rinehart, Founder of THE BRAINHEART INSTITUTE. My sole objective is to help global professionals shine their brightest – not just for the company they represent, but also on behalf of their own brand. 

In my career, I've had the great honor of working with hundreds of global CEOs, C-Suite executives, celebrities, politicians, dignitaries, attorneys, scientists, doctors, engineers, data geeks, educators, sports figures, and tens of thousands of everyday people.  A few notable names include, Bill Gates, Sir Richard Branson, Julia Roberts, Hillary Clinton, Howard Schultz, Jeff Probst, Amy Tan, and Marcus Lemonis. 

Some of the brands I've worked with include: ABC, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Citibank, Discovery Networks, Disney, eBay, Ford, Genpact, HP, Microsoft, McKinsey, NASDAQ, National Geographic, PayPal, PBS, Pfizer, Planet Fitness, Procter and Gamble, Sephora, Starbucks, Texaco, United Nations Foundation, World Health Organization, and many more.

The majority of my career has been working as executive creative director for various industries, with a specialty in video and live events, corporate communication, and brand development .  I think of myself as a professional memory maker. What I essentially do is craft multi-sensory narrative experiences that leave a positive and lasting impression on the hearts and minds of a specific audience. I also have done a lot of coaching for high-stakes sales pitches and high-profile keynote presentations.

I've been a celebrated keynote speaker and lecturer in nine countries. I've also been an active mentor and volunteer, serving on boards for three international charitable organizations. I've won multiple awards for my creative work and was recognized in 2015 by BizBash Magazine as an “Innovator of the Year.” I was also a featured collaboration artist in the book Harnessing Serendipity by David Adler. 

More than anything else, I strive to be an encourager.
