I’M STARING DOWN THE ESTABLISHMENT.

I’m an “unapologetically pink” entrepreneur, billion dollar dealmaker, public speaker, and tireless advocate for women.

I’m taking on the status quo in women’s sexual health.
Who’s blinking first? Not me.

“They ask how I succeed in a man’s world. I don’t accept the premise of that question.”

ABOUT ME

As CEO and Founder of Sprout Pharmaceuticals, I made history with Addyi — the first and only FDA-approved pill for women’s most common sexual struggle. In 2015, I sold Sprout Pharmaceuticals for a record-breaking $1 billion. When big pharma mismanaged the launch, I got Addyi back and not only made it accessible for women but changed the landscape in the conversation on women’s health.

Every day, I’m fighting for women’s sexual health + gender equity in healthcare.

“Proof can force
a global conversation and data can force a better decision.”

THE LITTLE
PINK PILL

My “Aha” Moment.

Series of brain MRI scans showing increased activity with HSDD, indicated by pink and green areas in the brain images.

Fifteen years ago, I had a life-changing “aha” moment looking at brain scans of women with low libido. For women, interest in sex starts in the brain. You can learn more about the FDA-approved “little pink pill” here.

“No I will not ‘tone it down,’ the fact that my wearing pink offends you is a you problem.”

Note to self: stay allergic to hypocrisy. The truth wins when women call things out, hold the line, and refuse the double standards. That’s how the world shifts. So proud of — and thankful for — every woman doing the same. 💕
