Performance starts with understanding your body.
In this special episode of The Exchange, recorded at the Mubadala DC Open in Washington, D.C., Brian Lott, Chief Communications Officer at Mubadala sits down with Will Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WHOOP, to discuss how continuous health monitoring is changing the way elite athletes, business leaders, and everyday consumers understand performance, recovery, and long-term health.
The conversation explores Will’s journey from a Harvard student fascinated by physiology to building one of the world’s leading wearable technology companies. He reflects on the challenges of raising capital, building breakthrough technology, and evolving as a founder while creating a business that now serves millions of members across more than 200 countries.
From recovery and sleep science to artificial intelligence, wearable technology, and the future of preventive healthcare, Will explains why better data leads to better decisions—not only for professional athletes competing at the highest level, but for anyone looking to improve their health and longevity.
Recorded courtside during the Mubadala DC Open, the discussion also explores WHOOP’s growing partnership with Mubadala, the UAE’s ambition to become a global hub for innovation, and how technology can play a transformative role in improving public health across the region.
Watch the full conversation to hear directly from Will Ahmed on why the future of health is built on continuous understanding—not occasional measurement.
