EP. 89 Addicted to start-ups!
Laurie McGraw is speaking with Inspiring Woman Eileen Maus, CEO of Renovia, a digital therapeutic and diagnostic company focused on women’s health and specifically, women’s pelvic floor health. As CEO, Eileen spends a good portion of her time on fundraising and reimbursement now that innovations at Renovia have a published clinical trial to their name. Some of her drive and commitment comes from an encounter with an investor who noted that exits in women’s health are not as exciting as other digital health companies which Eileen found quite frustrating. The importance of women’s health issues for Eileen began early as she was a pharma rep working with OBGYN physicians. She found these doctors to be real partners when adopting new technologies. The issues of weakened pelvic floor can be uncomfortable to talk about, and Eileen will ask people to think through the important issues of dignity for people with these conditions. She also describes herself addicted to start ups! Building the right team, allowing people to shine, coupled with energy and leadership as service approach – all of these items are the ingredients of a fulfilling career.
