The Focused Ultrasound Foundation is pleased to welcome Gary Lowenthal to its Council, a dedicated group of goodwill ambassadors who work closely with the Board of Directors and staff to provide advice and assist with raising funds and building awareness.
Mr. Lowenthal is a retired educator, entrepreneur, and executive with a career spanning education, international service, and business leadership.
He began his professional journey as a teacher serving in the Peace Corps, teaching in underserved communities in Fiji. Upon returning to the US, he held an executive position at Bloomingdale’s before founding The Boyds Collection Ltd. in 1979, a company that became a leader in the plush and figurine market renowned for its lovingly crafted handmade collectibles.
“Gary’s unique blend of creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to service makes him a tremendous asset to the Foundation’s Council,” said Foundation Chairman Neal F. Kassell, MD. “His insight and energy will strengthen our efforts to advance this transformative technology and expand its access to patients.”
“It’s an honor to join the Foundation’s Council and support such groundbreaking work,” Mr. Lowenthal said. “I’m inspired by the potential of focused ultrasound to revolutionize medicine, and I look forward to contributing to a mission that has real, lasting impact on people’s lives.”
