Elektra Health CEO Jannine Versi Named Among 2025’s Women of Influence in Healthcare
Recognized alongside leaders from Amazon, CVS, and Mayo Clinic for driving bold innovation across the healthcare system
Fierce Healthcare has unveiled its 2025 list of Women of Influence, spotlighting leaders who are not just participating in healthcare’s transformation—but shaping its future. Among the honorees is Jannine Versi, CEO and co-founder of Elektra Health, the digital platform pioneering menopause care at scale.
Versi’s inclusion reflects Elektra’s growing impact on an often-overlooked area of health. Under her leadership, the startup has expanded access to evidence-based care, scaled to cover over 15 million lives, and earned partnerships with every major health plan in New York. The company is also helping employers and insurers reframe menopause not as a niche issue, but as a key pillar of women’s health and workforce retention.
Elevating Menopause as a Healthcare Priority
The Women of Influence list celebrates those “breaking through traditional boundaries” in health, from tech and data to policy and access. Versi’s work stands out for normalizing a long-stigmatized life stage, and for building a platform that merges clinical excellence with digital reach. Since becoming CEO in 2024, she’s doubled the Elektra team and accelerated growth across payers, providers, and patient communities.
Among Healthcare’s Boldest Leaders
This year’s honorees also include:
Amy Abernethy, President of Product Development and Chief Medical Officer at Verily
Karen S. Lynch, President and CEO of CVS Health
Dr. Andrea Walsh, President and CEO of HealthPartners
Meghan Fitzgerald, founder of Grey Ghost Ventures and Columbia professor
Nworah Ayogu, Chief Medical Officer at Amazon Clinic
Whether they’re building AI tools, scaling access to specialty care, or redefining what wellness means in the workplace, each woman on the list is helping move the system forward.
For Elektra and Versi, it’s a signal that menopause care is finally getting a seat at the table, and that women’s health innovation is more relevant than ever.
