Women Innovating Together in Healthcare’s Post

Last week was the Annual Paris Signature Event of the WITH Association. It was a lovely evening to get together again, to meet inspiring new women innovating in healthcare, and reconnect with cherished friends. On this occasion, we presented the WITH Woman of the Year Award to Anne Bruinvels, PhD, Founder and CEO of OWise by Px HealthCare. Dear Anne, you moved us with your strong conviction on how to always better support patients in their care pathway. This award recognizes your entrepreneurial journey and remarkable commitment to the fight against cancer. We also want to thank Vanina Laurent-Ledru, Director General of Foundation S, for her inspiring words on how healthcare can take part in the climate change solution, and how to seize the digital transformation to accelerate innovation and meet the strong demand for a much more personalized medicine. 🙏 Ascendis Pharma, JEITO and Advesya. #innovation #healthcare #womenleadership

What a splendid evening it was last Tuesday in Paris at the annual W.I.T.H event, featuring two exceptional guests: Sibylle Le Maire and Jane Pritchett Henderson.   These two inspiring leaders have embarked on different paths, yet they had plenty of anecdotes to share about their admirable journeys.   ➡️ Sibylle Le Maire is the Executive Director in charge of Development at Bayard. She is also the Founder of ViveS media, the first media platform for women who dare to talk about money, which supports the career paths of women over 45. She launched this media 2 years ago with the deep conviction that real progress for women will come through increasing their economic and financial expertise. Sybille also serves on the board of Force Femmes, an association that supports unemployed women over 45 in their efforts to return to work and set up their own businesses. Additionally, she founded the think tank Club Landoy, dedicated to demographic transition with the ambition to rethink the way our society functions and draw up a new social contract.   ➡️ Jane Pritchett Henderson's journey is no less impressive. With over 34 years of experience in the life sciences industry and healthcare investment banking, she currently holds the position of CFO at Apogee Therapeutics, a publicly traded biotech company based in San Francisco, specializing in therapies for immunological and inflammatory disorders. Previously, she held various leadership positions at Invivyd, Turnstone Biologics, Voyager Therapeutics, Inc., Kolltan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and ISTA Pharmaceuticals (Products now under Bausch + Lomb, which was acquired by Valeant), Inc. In addition to her industry expertise, Jane Pritchett boasts extensive experience in healthcare investment banking, having been involved in over 95 mergers, acquisitions, advisory, and financing deals in roles such as managing director and other senior positions.   We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your active participation and for our inspiring discussions.   #womenleadership #lifesciences #innovation #healthcare #healthtech #biotech
