Background

About Anna Osullivan

Hi, I’m Anna. I’m the founder of FutureFemHealth, a global newsletter-first platform spotlighting innovation in women’s health, and the co-founder of CensHERship, a mission-led venture building solutions to tackle bias in women’s health and FemTech. With 20 years' experience in strategic communications — including senior roles in FTSE 100 companies, the NHS and the education sector — I bring deep expertise in storytelling, reputation and change to my mission of driving progress in the women’s health space. I launched FutureFemHealth in 2023, and it has grown to a community of over 8,500 subscribers across nearly 100 countries — reaching founders, investors, clinicians and innovators through weekly insights and reporting. Through CensHERship, together with my co-founder Clio Wood, we work to level the playing field for women’s health content and businesses — campaigning for regulatory and media equity. Our work has been featured in The Guardian, The Times and Wired and we’ve partnered with organisations including The Case For Her and Essity. After speaking with hundreds of organisations and founders we’re now building FemTick: a world-first accreditation standard for service providers in the women’s health space to make it easier and bias-free for start-ups to launch, grow and thrive. We’re starting with the financial services sector. Before stepping fully into women’s health, I spent two decades in corporate communications leadership — most recently as UK Director of Corporate Communications at Pearson, where I led media, issues/crisis and thought leadership in a regulated environment. Earlier in my career, I worked across both the UK and Australia, including three years with the NHS. My key skills: • Strategic narrative building & thought leadership • Media relations, crisis communications & reputation management • Stakeholder engagement & partnership building • Integrated campaigns & content strategy • Community-building within women’s health & FemTech Away from work, you’ll usually find me running around after my two young children in Legoland Billund (we recently moved to Denmark for my husband's work), cooking dishes that remind me of my days spent travelling through Asia, or taking a long walk with my favourite podcast!
