Ariella Heffernan-Marks

CEO Founder

About

With over three years of experience, my journey has led me to found Ovum, a platform dedicated to revolutionizing women's healthcare through an integrated lifespan approach. As a Medical Doctor at Prince of Wales Hospital, I honed my clinical skills, which now inform my leadership at Ovum. My core competencies lie in scientific research, reflected in my award-winning work, and in leadership and communication which ensures the seamless operation of my initiatives. My mission is to merge medical expertise with innovative technology, embodying OVUM's values to improve healthcare outcomes for women. Our team, armed with my domain knowledge in women's health and passion for advancement, is committed to making a meaningful impact.
