Laura McGrath: Transforming the Maternal Health Industry

Laura McGrath, co-founder of Lola&Lykke, has played a significant role in reshaping the maternal health landscape through innovative solutions. She believes the world needs a women's healthcare revolution: it's time to empower every woman with cutting-edge science, knowledge, and support.

Surely better health outcomes for women mean better health outcomes for everyone. Laura's vision and leadership have not only positioned Lola&Lykke as a success in the Finnish startup scene but has also gained her international acclaim.
