Modern Health Appoints Former Morgan Stanley CHRO Jeff Brodsky to Board of Directors

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modern Health, a leading global workplace mental health platform, today announced that Jeff Brodsky, former Chief Human Resources Officer of Morgan Stanley, has joined its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Brodsky brings more than 35 years of HR leadership experience from one of the world’s most respected financial institutions. During his tenure at Morgan Stanley, he held multiple senior leadership roles, ultimately serving as Chief Human Resources Officer and a member of the firm’s Operating Committee. He also co-chaired the firm’s Culture, Values, and Conduct Committee, where he played a central role in shaping Morgan Stanley’s global people strategy, leadership development, and talent culture through periods of significant transformation and growth.

Throughout his career, Brodsky led HR for many of Morgan Stanley’s core business divisions, including Global Wealth Management, Investment Management, and Corporate Functions, and also oversaw global compensation and benefits, talent management, and HR operations, helping the firm attract, develop, and retain top talent across all geographies.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Jeff to our board of directors. His visionary leadership and decades of experience leading global people strategy at Morgan Stanley will be invaluable as we continue to expand our impact with large, complex employers around the world,” said Matt Levin, CEO of Modern Health. “He brings not only impressive HR expertise but also a passion for building enduring organizations where people can thrive. His insights will strengthen our ability to deliver measurable value to our clients, members, and partners alike.”

He joins a board of renowned business leaders, including Alyson Watson (founder of Modern Health), Dick Costolo (former CEO, Twitter), Mamoon Hamid (Partner, Kleiner Perkins), Roger Lee (General Partner, Battery Ventures), and Penelope Herscher (former CEO, FirstRain and Cadence Design Systems executive), who together bring impressive expertise in technology, healthcare, and leadership.

“As a former CHRO, I’ve seen firsthand how essential mental health support is to building a strong, high-performing workforce,” said Jeff Brodsky. “Modern Health’s approach, combining clinical expertise, global equity, and its first-to-market adaptive care model, is transforming how employers think about mental health. By moving beyond therapy-first models to a more inclusive, personalized system that meets every employee where they are, Modern Health is helping people get better faster, stay well longer, and driving measurable reductions in healthcare costs for employers. I’m honored to join this mission to make mental health not only a strength, but a true business accelerator for organizations everywhere.”
