Carol Head is the former President of Solve ME/CFS Initiative (Solve M.E.) and current member of the Solve M.E. Board of Directors. She fell ill with ME/CFS upon finishing Stanford University Graduate School of Business[1] in the 1980s, after coming down with a flu which she did not recover from. Although she has ME/CFS, she did improve greatly; she believes she dodged a bullet and is 95% recovered.[2][3] However, because of a relapse of ME/CFS, she was unable to do more than sleep and work; in March of 2019 she announced she was stepping down as CEO of Solve M.E. to serve on its board.[4][5]
