The people behind Onde

Portrait of Fiona

Fiona

Cofounder

Fiona spent a decade in global health, starting with an internship at the WHO and going on to consult on health programs across low and middle income countries. Her work kept coming back to one question. How do you make sure every dollar spent on health actually changes outcomes for the people it’s meant to reach?

At 40, that question became personal. Fiona was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer. Treatment saved her life. But she left the clinic with a few minutes of instructions and side effects no one had really prepared her for. Even with her training, she struggled to understand her own care.

In her years in health funding, she reviewed hundreds of biotech companies. Only a handful focused on women’s health, and even the sensible ideas struggled to raise money.

She founded Onde to help close that gap. She believes long term funding for women's health can work for women and for the researchers behind the science. And the women who come next deserve better.

Portrait of Charlotte

Charlotte

Cofounder

Charlotte works with founders and leadership teams on positioning and new products, mostly in global tech scale ups.

She is a native speaker of Italian and German. She built her career in tech in London and Paris over 13 years. She now lives in Madrid, where she runs her own consultancy, alma insight.

Onde started with her own health. When Charlotte went looking for answers, she found too little science and too few options. The research on women's bodies was thin, and the choices that followed from it were thinner.

She is a trained coach and loves bringing people together. She creates spaces where women help each other grow, in health, in life and in business. Early in 2026 she cofounded The Advantage, a community that brings more women into AI.

Her mission is helping women thrive.
