Lunch & Learn: Undervalued to Unavoidable

​From Undervalued to Unavoidable: Women's Health as Infrastructure
A conversation with Marissa Fayer

​Women spend 25% longer in poor health than men. The global economy loses nearly $1 trillion a year as a result. These are not gaps in awareness. They are design failures, and they are correctable.

​Marissa Fayer has spent 25 years operating inside women's health, as a medtech executive, a founder, and an investor. Her new book, Undervalued to Unavoidable, makes the economic case that the rest of the field keeps failing to make clearly: women's health is not a niche. It is core infrastructure for functioning health systems and economies, and it has been systematically mispriced.

​The session will follow the book's structure: the structural reasons the gap persists and the data behind them; what organisations making real progress have in common; and what the path forward looks like by role, whether you sit on an investment committee, lead a company, or shape clinical or commercial strategy.

​This is a session for people who already know the problem exists and want the tools to act on it.
