Penny Wan is Co-Founder and Chair of Heronova Life Sciences, a company focused on women’s health.
With a career spanning biotech, pharma and consumer health, Penny previously held senior leadership positions across Asia Pacific, including President of Amgen Asia Pacific, where she built a billion-dollar business and regional team.
Penny discusses why she returned to women’s health, the lack of progress in the sector, and how Heronova came to focus on endometriosis. The company is developing non-invasive diagnostic solutions designed to help identify the disease earlier and improve access to care.
The conversation also covers healthcare entrepreneurship, investment, commercialisation, AI and data, the future of women’s health, building teams around a shared mission, and Penny’s advice for people looking to start a company in healthcare.
