Tristan Mace is the Co-Founder & CEO of Transplants.org, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit improving access and outcomes for organ and stem cell transplant patients.

In 2021, he survived fulminant quadruple organ failure, requiring an emergency heart transplant within 48 hours. A week later, he awoke to learn of the life-saving transplant and that his lung failure caused two strokes and five years of permanent memory loss. Working from his ICU bed, he began building the new nonprofit.

Tristan’s story was profiled by The Wall Street Journal in the article, “He Got a New Heart. Now This 34-Year-Old Is Fighting to Fix the Transplant System,” as well as by Fortune, Bloomberg, and CNN.

Previously, Tristan built his career as a technology entrepreneur, venture capitalist, public servant, and lecturer.
