"Covid-19 exposed significant gaps in care for women and families, who represent the largest consumers of healthcare and are underserved by the current standard of care.

She has successfully executed multi-year growth plans, expanded new lines of business, and delivered revenue growth for large national payers, mid-sized services companies and startups. Millsom's passion for maternal health dates back tothe early stages of her career as a volunteer in the Peace Corps in Morocco where she focused on programs to decrease maternal and child mortality and increase overall health literacy. Kopelman brings 18 years of experience leading global businesses at scale. He will play a key role in driving strategic growth investments and building systems and processes to efficiently scale the business. Kopelman most recently served as Global Head of Planning at WeWork, where his responsibilities spanned Financial Planning & Analysis, regional finance, business partnering, and capital and long range planning. Kopelman previously served as SVP of Financial Planning & Analysis at HBO, and led investor relations for Time Warner prior to that. He began his career in equity research, where he worked closely with both public and pre-IPO companies and was recognized as an All-Star analyst by Institutional Investor while at Merrill Lynch. In February, Maven raised its $45 million Series C round of funding, bringing the company's total funding to $90 million. Since then, Maven has launched several new products including Maven Wallet, an integrated payments product to facilitate reimbursements for fertility treatments and adoption benefits; Maven Planning, the first preconception product to be fully integrated with a fertility and maternal health solution; and acquired a behavioral health company, Bright Parenting, to fuel the launch of its forthcoming Parenting and Pediatrics product in Q4 2020.
