Danique Motzheim.

Dutch Founder, Author, Speaker and Thought Leader on the future of human wellbeing. Founder and CEO of BYOU, Executive Director of the BYOU Impact Foundation, author of The Global Thought Leader Mindset, and host of the BYOU Podcast.

Portrait of Danique Motzheim, Founder of BYOU

BYOU did not begin as a product. It began as a question: why is mental wellbeing still treated as a luxury, when it is the foundation of everything else?

Out of that question grew a global team of beauty, wellness, sports, and health professionals, an app used across borders, and a foundation working alongside young people who deserve a different default.

The work · through BYOU, the Impact Foundation, Founder Letters, the book, the podcast, and speaking · is the patient attempt to answer that question with care. Not faster. Not smarter. Earlier. Gentler. More human.
