Our Auckland Networking and Panel event for this coming Wednesday is now full and we are looking forward to being hosted at Microsoft House and welcoming our panel to share their experiences with you.

Please note if you have registered that this event will start from 5.30pm. If you are unable to attend, please do let us know as there is a waitlist of people who missed out on a ticket.

Our panel discussion will focus on the Art of Juggling and we have two experienced leaders to share with us all how they manage their career demands as a leader whilst balancing their personal life, staying true to oneself and maintaining sanity amidst juggling multiple responsibilities. Conversing with us on Wednesday evening will be Clare Goodwin and Dr Jennifer Kruger.

Clare is a registered nutritionist specialising in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. She is the founder of Ovie Health for PCOS which is a machine learning driven platform which helps women to understand what lifestyle changes and medications are going to have the biggest impact on their immediate symptoms as well as their long term health risks.

Dr Jennifer Kruger is the CEO and co-founder of JUNOFEM, a digital health company spun out of the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. She has a clinical and academic background and is passionate about Women's health. She led the pelvic floor research group at the ABI for 12 years before embarking on the commercialisation journey. The new technology, femfit®, is already making a real difference to the lives of many women suffering from pelvic floor disorders, such as incontinence.

We look forward to seeing everyone who has registered on Wednesday evening for our final Auckland event for 2024!
