Marie Brodsky is a longevity innovator with multi-faceted experience working across user-friendly technology, research ethics, local and state government, aging policy, and community-based partnerships. Her transition from mathematics and research at MIT and Carnegie Mellon technical labs into the aging space was catalyzed by family experiences of social isolation and health decline. In 2024, Brodsky served on the 10-year planning workgroup for Maryland’s Multisector Plan on Aging and participated in multiple county commissions. She has presented at the National Council on Aging conference and the Age-Friendly Ecosystem Summit and interviewed on several podcasts on aging well. In her work with WISE Connect, a company focused on social engagement and local support for older adults aging in place, Brodsky has secured NIH grant funding, won national recognition, and built strong ties across the agetech ecosystem. In her past work, building peer and mentor exchanges to expedite learning and knowledge sharing has always been a priority, and she’s looking forward to bringing that experience and enthusiasm to the Springboard accelerator community.
