Brian Loew
Founder and CEO, Inspire

Brian created Inspire in 2005 with the goal of accelerating clinical trial recruitment through the use of safe, trusted online social networks, organized by medical condition, for patients and their caregivers. Today, Inspire's 70 health association partners and 135,000 members provide fertle ground for medical research, patient insight and health advocacy.

Brian believes that patient contributions to medical progress have been historically undervalued, and great progress may result from fully valuing contributions to medical research derived from the active involvement of patients.

Previously, Brian was responsible for technology strategy for The Washington Post, where he developed innovative products and acted as a technology liaison between the newspaper and washingtonpost.com. Brian has been an Internet entrepreneur since 1994 when he founded Worldweb.net, a content management software company that created and launched over 100 websites for major publishers including U.S. News & World Report, Hachette Filipacchi, Time Warner, and The Washington Post Company.

Brian has degrees in physics and economics from The George Washington University.
