Bob de Wit

Bob de Wit joined the Parkinson Advisory Council to provide lived experience, offer guidance and provide a bridge between the Parkinson’s and research communities.

Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2014 and recently retired as a CEO, Bob’s career began in university technology transfer then, transformed by entrepreneurship, evolved into angel investing. He hopes to leverage his experience with university technology transfer to help with ensuring new knowledge supported by Parkinson Canada is translated to the patient and the larger community.
