Co-founder and CEO, Kindred
With her startup Kindred, Jessica de Mesa gives women in the Philippines access to a range of high-quality health and wellness services. In particular, it sells contraceptive medicines online and delivers them discreetly, particularly important when Covid caused community health centres to pause reproductive health programmes.
