Marissa Fayer Speaking Topics

The Infrastructure Argument: The Growth Strategy Hiding in Plain Sight
Productivity stagnation, demographic decline, and healthcare costs that won't stop compounding aren't separate crises. They're symptoms of the same structural underinvestment, and women's health is at the center of all of them.
In this keynote, Marissa Fayer presents the economic argument she's spent 25 years building: women's health isn't a cause dressed up as a business case. It's the business case. She draws from her experience as a four-time CEO, global nonprofit founder, and investor to show audiences what the data actually says, which organizations are already acting on it, and exactly what it costs to keep treating women's health as optional.
Your audience walks away with:
A boardroom-ready framework for quantifying the cost of inaction on women's health
Global case studies of organizations already converting the thesis into returns
A clear entry point for action, whether they control a budget, a portfolio, or a product roadmap
Best for: Corporate leadership summits, investor conferences, health system board retreats, industry conferences.
-
The Global Opportunity: Innovation Doesn't Start Where You Think It Does
The most creative solutions in women's health aren't coming from Boston or Basel. They're coming from Nairobi, São Paulo, and Mumbai, built by people who can't afford to over-engineer.
Marissa Fayer draws on her experience running HERhealthEQ across nine countries and investing in global medtech ventures to show why the next wave of women's health infrastructure will be built outside the traditional centers of power. She makes the case that organizations still operating with a US-and-Europe-only lens are missing what might be the largest addressable market opportunity in global healthcare.
Your audience walks away with:
The investment thesis for women's health in emerging and frontier markets
Real examples of innovation scaling from resource-constrained environments to global markets
A strategic lens for building global health portfolios that don't end at the U.S. border
Best for: Global health forums, development finance convenings, corporate audiences with international footprints, ESG and impact investor events.
