Forest Yin is a rare hybrid innovator at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, integrative medicine, and mind-body wellness. With more than 20 years of executive leadership in enterprise security and Identity & Access Management (IAM) across both high tech and financial industries — including senior roles at Oracle, CA Technologies, Charles Schwab, and Wells Fargo (Executive Director, Head of IAM Product Management) — Forest has led some of the largest security modernization programs in the financial sector.
Alongside two decades architecting global security platforms, Forest also built a parallel career in clinical health and integrative medicine. He founded Ashi Healing & Acupuncture Inc., serving as Clinical Director, practitioner, and digital health technologist. He authored a 10-book, 300,000-word English wellness series (The Medicine-Free, Illness-Free Series) and a 100,000-character Chinese integrative medicine book (Healing Wisdom of a Sage), both achieving Amazon Top New Release recognition. Forest also serves as Professor and Doctoral Advisor at the University of East-West Medicine, mentoring doctoral candidates in advanced Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Drawing from his unique background in AI, cybersecurity, integrative medicine, emotional healing, and product strategy, Forest founded DailyLifeBuddy Technologies, creator of the first fully privacy-first, on-device AI Life OS. DailyLifeBuddy features 16 specialized AI companions across integrative health, emotional wellbeing, planning, finance, beauty, and fraud detection — all built with the same zero-trust principles Forest championed throughout his enterprise career.
His mission is to make safe, private, deeply intelligent personal support accessible to everyone — uniting modern AI with the wisdom of integrative health and mind-body science to help people live with greater health, wealth, success, and fulfillment.
