Andre Bollaert, Executive Director
Invincikids

As an accomplished Executive Director, I specialize in leveraging Extended Reality (XR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies to revolutionize pediatric care. My mission is to develop and distribute immersive XR/VR applications, entirely free of charge, to enhance the well-being of young patients and their caregivers around the world. With a strong background in program development, fundraising, and nonprofit leadership, I bring a proven ability to create innovative solutions that deliver meaningful outcomes in healthcare.

I collaborate with medical professionals, child psychologists, researchers, VR/XR developers, and clinicians worldwide to design and implement cutting-edge XR/VR applications tailored to the unique needs of pediatric patients. By addressing complex challenges and fostering the adoption of immersive technology in healthcare settings, I ensure that children and their families benefit from transformative experiences that reduce anxiety and pain perception, support physical therapy and rehabilitation, and provide resiliency skills. My work focuses on creating partnerships and driving innovation to deliver solutions that directly impact the lives of pediatric patients.

With expertise in building strong relationships among stakeholders—including donors, healthcare providers, researchers, and technology innovators—I have successfully led initiatives that foster organizational growth and optimize resources. My comprehensive understanding of nonprofit operations and systemic problem-solving enables me to integrate novel XR/VR solutions into pediatric care effectively, resulting in positive, lasting change for young patients and their families.
