Wingwomen Femhealth Startup Announces Zia Heller as Advisor
BOSTON, MA - In an era where the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade has brought challenges and heightened the importance of reproductive rights for women, Wingwomen, an innovative Femhealth startup, is taking a monumental step forward. The company proudly announces the onboarding of Zia Heller, a prominent financial strategist and Boston University alumnus, as a fresh advisor to its leadership team. This strategic decision underlines Wingwomen's vision to devise a sustainable funding pathway for its expanding operations in the northeast, highlighted by the unveiling of a brand-new facility in South Boston.
Ms. Heller’s illustrious career began in the global financial hub of London. At Citi, she was deeply involved with portfolio investments focused on multinational public entities, obtaining critical insights into expansive health corporations. This expertise seamlessly translated to the private capital realm, where she crafted sophisticated liquidity solutions for mid-sized companies across a range of debt and equity instruments. Drawn by an innate desire to make a profound impact on health innovations, Zia subsequently gravitated towards startups.
Beyond her corporate pursuits, Zia's association with the Acumen Fund and Village Capital have witnessed her proactive support for numerous social enterprises. With an unyielding passion, she is devoted to narrowing health disparities, especially among women, marginalized communities, and underserved patient populations.
In her new role at Wingwomen, Zia's vast experience will be pivotal in guiding the company's financial trajectory through avenues of private equity, grants, and venture capital. She is set to bolster the firm's risk mitigation approach, refining its operational strategy. As Wingwomen embarks on phases of expansion, backed by progressive funding and revenue landmarks, Ms. Heller will be instrumental in the journey.
“At this significant moment when there are differing viewpoints on women's health, I felt inspired to support a pioneering company like Wingwomen, especially when the topic of women's autonomy over their own bodies is being discussed," shared Heller.
Adonica Shaw, Wingwomen's Founder & CEO, conveyed her enthusiasm, stating, "Zia’s vast professional experience, harmonized with her intrinsic commitment to uplift women's health, makes her an invaluable addition to our leadership." She added, "Wingwomen stands as a beacon of impact. We're unwavering in our mission to ensure women have unhindered access to reproductive health care and holistic support. We’re elated to integrate Ms. Heller's expertise into our vision, and together, we hope to make lasting differences."
