Alexander Lethen is founder and chair of the mental health charity foundation, MADE-Life, which he founded after the passing of his youngest daughter in 2022. MADE-Life addresses various issues in the mental health space through inspiring challenges. In these challenges, MADE-Life collaborates with students from various Dutch colleges and universities to apply fresh, innovative thinking to the various issues in this field. The first three challenges address treatment rooms, stories of hope and an art exhibition to visualise how depression, OCD and other mental conditions feel. Next to his charity activities, Alex is active in the software industry and is an investor and advisor to various x-tech start-ups.
