Women’s health isn’t just personal — it directly shapes our careers, our leadership, and our ability to thrive at work. Yet most of our bodies’ major transitions — postpartum recovery, fertility challenges, hormonal shifts, and menopause — have been understudied and under-discussed. The result: too many women navigate these changes alone, often in silence, while juggling the demands of leadership.

In this conversation, Joanna Strober, CEO and co-founder of Midi Health, shares insights from building care models for women in midlife while drawing on her work in childhood health. Jessica Karr, General Partner at Coyote Ventures, adds the perspective of an investor funding innovations in fertility, maternal care, and fem-health. Moderated by Preetha Ram, Managing Partner and CTO of Pier 70 Ventures, the panel will explore how we can better understand our health, advocate for ourselves, and demand the support we need from our workplaces and systems.

This session is about knowledge and agency — reframing women’s health not as a private burden, but as a leadership conversation that belongs at the center of our careers.
