“This mission-driven CEO is a force to be reckoned with and will give this frustratingly fragmented, inadequate, elusive market for contraception methods the much-needed shakeup.”
The Lowdown has built an engaged community of up to 80,000 monthly users in the UK and US, and is looking to expand internationally in the coming months.
Alice is joined by a growing team, including CTO Marija Ziterbart, and Medical Directors Dr Melanie Davis-Hall and Dr Frances Yarlett. Speaking of the future Alice said:
