Jimmy Ruben Sylow Westerheim (born January 17, 1987) is the founder and CEO of the non-profit organisation The Human Aspect.
Through Westerheim's experience working for Doctors Without Borders in Syria and Afghanistan, he became interested in creating a tool to share life lessons across the world.[1] Westerheim founded The Human Aspect foundation when he left his careers in shipping and humanitarian work to self fund the mental health video project.[2][3] Westerheim has himself faced mental health challenges, citing his biological father that did not want anything to do with him and being bullied as a child,[4] which led him to plan to take his own life at the age of 13.[5]
Since founding The Human Aspect in 2016 Westerheim has traveled as a speaker and interviewing for the foundation in multiple different countries such as The United Kingdom, Sierra Leone and Ukraine.[6] In addition to talk to local health authorities about how to get more people in need to use the countries help services.[5]
