Personal life

At age 17, he was selected to represent the United States at Li Po Chun United World College as a Davis Scholar, where he spent two years with students from more than 80 countries.[8] He later attended Swarthmore College, graduating in three years with a BA in psychology and education.[9] He dropped out of Cornell University's PhD program after one year and has frequently stated that leaving academia was one of the best decisions of his life.[10][11]

He has one child with former spouse DBT therapist Stefanie Sugar and advocates for the term co-parent as a method of emphasizing current, rather than past, relationship status.[12] He is also an outspoken feminist and makes frequent appearances at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing and other feminist events.[13][14][15]

Career

In 2014, Wallaert gave a TEDx talk in Utrecht about the experience, citing a Theodore Roosevelt quote as his motto: "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." [16] After leaving Microsoft and M12, he joined unicorn healthcare startup Clover Health as the Chief Behavioral Officer.[17]
