About us
Waves Women exists to change the way women navigate hormonal shifts, starting with perimenopause.
Who we are
For too long, women have been left to search for their symptoms in silence, guess at solutions, and quietly power through. Most health apps either ignore hormones or reduce them to fertility. We’re building something different.
Waves is here to make hormonal health clearer, smarter, and less overwhelming. We believe women deserve tools that reflect the complexity of their bodies, without the fluff, fear tactics, or friction.
We’re starting with a focus on perimenopause: a life stage that’s poorly understood, wildly under-supported, and dismissed far too often. Our team is made up of women, engineers, researchers, and builders who believe that better answers — and better design — can make this experience radically better.
Waves is in early access, and everything we build is shaped by real feedback from the women using it. Our mission is simple: help more women understand what their bodies are doing — and what to do next.
Meet the team
We’re a small but mighty group of designers, engineers, storytellers, and “do-ers” dedicated to creating tools that support women through real-life hormonal changes. We listen, learn, and design alongside the women who use Waves Women, so every feature feels personal, practical, and genuinely helpful.
WHY WE'RE HERE
Hormonal shifts can affect everything from energy to mood — yet many women feel left to figure it out on their own. At Waves Women, we believe in combining proven science with real-life feedback, so the tools we create fit the way you actually live. Our team is here to make it easier to understand your body and build habits that help you feel your best.

Jessie
CEO/Founder
I build the data architecture, product vision and strategic roadmap where technology and AI solutions are used thoughtfully and ethically to honor complexity, embrace nuance, and empower self-reliance. Yoga, climbing, and breathing techniques ground me when most needed.
Best health tip: The right kind of exercise at the wrong time can do more harm than good — listen to your body and flow with your cycle phases.
Comfort food: A rich bowl of ragù alla
bolognese or my nana’s shrimp dumplings.

Marisa
Marketing Lead
I drive the marketing strategy and advocate for our users by creating campaigns and content that introduce women to Waves and help them feel understood. Cooking healthy meals and doing daily Pilates keep me energized.
Best health tip: Movement boosts mood — even on days you don’t feel like it.
Comfort food: A green and grain bowl with fresh, seasonal veggies.

Kaliu
Principal Software Engineer
I design the core technology that powers Waves to make it reliable, intuitive, and tailored to each life stage. Nature trips, camping with my dogs, and early mornings set the tone for my day.
Best health tip: Strength training, especially full-body moves, builds physical energy and clears the mind.
Comfort food: Pizza or Argentine empanadas for a nostalgic taste of home.

Matias
Engineering Lead
I coordinate product and engineering to deliver new features for Waves. Mindful caffeine use, switching between sitting and standing, and keeping carbs in check help me stay energized and focused.
Best health tip: Keep your stress hormones in check — stress can undo the results of all your healthy habits.
Comfort food: Sourdough toast with almond butter and a cup of good coffee.

Ariel
Senior Software Engineer
I turn designs into user-friendly interfaces that make Waves intuitive and delightful to use. General fitness keeps me active, and I find balance by connecting with nature through gardening.
Best health tip: The key to health isn’t just to be strong; it’s to be able to move well for a lifetime.
Comfort food: Homemade burgers and pizza.

Chris
Design Lead
I design the full Waves experience so it’s intuitive, enjoyable, and supportive. Strength training and getting outside for short walks keep me feeling my best.
Best health tip: Your cycle affects more than just your period — it can change energy, mood, and how your body responds to exercise.
Comfort food: Fresh sourdough with salted butter.

Mate
Quality & User Success Lead
I make sure Waves runs smoothly for every woman, from the first tap to daily check-ins. Cycling, hiking, and deep breathing keep me grounded.
Best health tip: Quality sleep helps regulate hormones, boosts mood, and makes healthy choices easier.
Comfort food: Overnight oats with nuts and fresh fruit.

Laura
Clinical Advisor
I advise the team on the medical and scientific basis of the information we bring to women.
Best health tip: Life is about balance: healthy but fun and satisfying food choices, challenging but safe and rational exercise, work and play in equal portions.
Comfort food: Avocado toast with just a few bacon bits. And malted milk balls. Balance.

Adrian
Senior Software Engineer
I work on the front end of the app to create the best possible user experience. Morning gym sessions give me the mental and physical energy I need for the day.
Best health tip: Start with lifestyle changes — sleep well, eat healthy, and move your body to support hormone balance.
Comfort food: A big bowl of pasta with extra cheese.
