Mridula Pore is CEO and co-founder of Peppy. Her passion is making healthcare more affordable and accessible. Peppy provides a new type of employee benefit – health support to people going through the big life transitions, like becoming a new parent, going through the menopause or fertility treatment and offers convenient, expert led support over an extended period of time that improves quality of life, confidence and the ability to perform at work. Although she has spent her career in healthcare, Mridula is an engineer by training, studying first at Cambridge, before spending several years at MIT on a highly selective joint PhD/MBA programme. She was previously a senior engagement manager at McKinsey and a business unit head at Sandoz (the generic pharmaceutical division of Novartis).
