Team
mindwise is built by founders who understand the need for private, structured personal development - especially for men who think analytically, keep things inside, and want a framework they can actually trust.
Co-Founder & CEO

Psychological Advisor
Psychological Advisor, mindwise | Clinical Psychologist
Robert McMillan, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist based in NYC with an interest in the intersection of traditional psychological constructs and modern technology. Dr. McMillan joined mindwise in November 2025 to help direct its mission from the perspective of a human behavior specialist with a wide breadth of clinical experience formed over two decades.
He believes that as AI develops, much like a child, it must be properly guided, especially when used for personal growth. His interest in mindwise was piqued when he learned of its unique blend of accurate empathy, social science and AI. It has the power to transform users from feeling rudderless to having a "north star" toward which they can work in this structured and compassionate program.
Life Coaching Advisor
Life Coaching Advisor, mindwise | Brain Performance Expert
Dr. Michaela Karsten is a doctor of medicine, mental trainer and coach specializing in memory, learning processes and stress management. A three-time Women's World Memory Champion and Grand Master of Memory, she has spent over 25 years working with companies, universities and private clients across German, English and Czech-speaking markets, delivering more than 1,000 seminars and working individually with over 500 clients. She is also a psychosocial health adviser and a speaker at conferences and corporate events.
She joined mindwise to bring the practice of one-to-one coaching into the product itself. Her work has always focused on what actually changes behavior rather than what merely sounds convincing, and on giving people structure they can apply in daily life. That focus on repeatable practice over insight alone is the same question mindwise is built around.
Founder stories
Before mindwise, Bjoern spent 10 years working across strategy consulting, hyper-growth technology, and venture. He has held senior roles at SoftBank and Delivery Hero, leading teams and scaling operations across markets in Europe, Latin America and Asia.
He describes himself as Patient Zero. mindwise was not built from a whiteboard. It was built because he needed it - and because nothing that existed was built for someone like him.
I spent most of my life keeping it together. High performance at work. Showing up. Handling it. I thought that was what strength looked like.
It took many books and journal entries to realise I had no idea what was actually going on inside me. I wasn't broken - I just had no tools. No framework. No place to actually work through it without feeling like I was failing at being a man.
I looked for something that would help. Something built for the way I actually think - analytically, privately, systematically. It didn't exist. So I built it.
That's mindwise.
Bjoern is also the Data Protection Officer of mindwise, responsible for GDPR compliance and the data architecture that keeps every user's personal data private and protected.
He holds a Master of Science in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Management Control from Vienna University of Economics and Business and is based in Singapore, where mindwise is headquartered.
Before mindwise, Prajwal spent six years building software across Web3, SaaS and AI. Held CTO & Founder roles in Labelwhale, Crowdpanel and Dive Analytics. Most recently he ran Shipfast Labs, a small studio that help teams take an idea from sketch to production-ready MVP in two weeks.
Alongside building, Prajwal writes a publication on mindfulness and the practice of integrating contemplative life with the modern world. He believes that the inner work comes first and mindwise is built towards that.
For most of my twenties I was running two lives in parallel. One was the engineer and the other was much quieter. Reading books on personal development, writing journals and going for meditation retreats. The slow attempt to actually be present in the life he was building so hard to have.
For a long time I thought those two halves were in tension. It took years to see that the work isn't choosing between them, but it's learning to hold both.
I started writing The Zen Journal because I needed somewhere to think this through out loud. The pattern I kept finding, in myself and in the people who wrote back, was the same. Ambitious, technically-minded men who do the reading and still have nowhere structured to actually do the work.
That's the gap mindwise is built for. Not something that tells you what to feel, but something that helps you see your own mind clearly, in a way that fits how you already think.
He holds a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering from the University of Manchester, where he was recognised with the Stellify Award for leadership & personal development. Prajwal lives between Singapore & India.
