Alessandra Henderson, CEO & Co-Founder of Elektra Health

Alessandra Henderson is the Co-Founder & CEO of Elektra Health, a next-gen women's healthcare platform on a mission to smash the menopause taboo. Elektra empowers the 50M women navigating menopause in the US – and the millions more abroad – with evidence-based education, care & community.12

Prior to Elektra, Alessandra spent 10+ years building early stage consumer businesses from the ground up at Artsy, the MIT NYC Startup Studio, and Human Ventures.3 She holds a B.A. from Vanderbilt University and MBA from Sloan MIT, where she received the Martin Trust Community Fellow Award and the Patrick McGovern Entrepreneurship Award.3

Alessandra co-founded Elektra Health with Jannine Versi and founding physician Dr. Anna Barbieri (OB/GYN, Mount Sinai) to bring high-quality hormonal healthcare into the 21st century.2 Alessandra's personal health journey led to the creation of Elektra Health, as she became obsessed with hormonal health and women's health after experiencing the impact of hormones on her own body.2

Elektra Health offers an end-to-end, proprietary care platform that supports women across every step of their menopause journey, from education to personalized care plans and 1:1 support from women's health experts.1 The company has launched partnerships with Mass General Brigham Health Plan and EmblemHealth to extend its services to their members and employees.1
