MEET LISA
The emerging women’s health market is a $3 billion industry.
I am passionate about keeping women at the center of their market.
We can do this by supporting women to reach for the impossible - and make it possible.
Hi, I’m Lisa Marceau.
I started Alpha Millennial Health and Joyuus because there are gaps in health that need to be filled.
After a fulfilling career in research, product development and senior leadership, I was determined to translate my career into supporting the paradigm shift in healthcare and women’s health.
FINDING EQUITY
I'm proud of my journey…and the winding, unexpected path it’s taken.
It began in Washington, DC where I wrote multi-million dollar grants for OSHA and Superfund programs. I saw firsthand how health disparities stemmed from environmental hazards in the places people live and work.
Onto Boston, I managed a maternal-fetal medicine office that supported the most complex pregnancies. It was humbling. Behind every label or demographic was a person simply striving for a healthy pregnancy.
I transitioned into health research, driven by a desire to define best practices and dig deeper into the root causes of health disparities and systemic bias. This experience taught me the profound value of research and evidence to develop best practices.
My squiggly line took another turn when I realized best practices often don’t reach the people who need them. Too many face barriers, whether social, economic, or systemic, that keep them from getting necessary and appropriate care. To bridge that gap, I launched a digital strategies business unit focused on connecting real-world needs with evidence-based solutions.
Over these experiences, I’ve had the privilege of leading and collaborating with brilliant researchers, practitioners, and changemakers; each one committed to equity, innovation, and meaningful progress.
LEADING CHANGE
The details…
I have an MPH from Boston University and a Professional MBA Certificate from Bryant University. I was VP and executive director at NERI, where I created and led digital product research. I supported NERI’s acquisition by a Fortune 25 insurer and remained as VP until starting Alpha Millennial Health and the postpartum self-care platform, Joyuus.
My digital products have won numerous industry awards. I am an NIH SBIR reviewer, and a Judge for the Telly Awards.
I have presented at many professional meetings and have published in esteemed peer-reviewed journals. I was recently a panel member at HPE Discover and the Women's Health Innovation Summit speaking on filling the gap in research and funding for women and minority health concerns.
My business is WBENC and WOSB certified. I am a member of the Women Presidents Organization, KNOW Women, and am a 100 Women to KNOW 2025 Award Winner.
My Approach
Two things have stuck with me and they were the powerful forces for jumping off the cliff into entrepreneurship.
Everyone matters - collaboration is about listening and respecting different voices and perspectives. Everyone is a human being first, and a client, customer or both.
Health is a journey - it is made up of all of our experiences, and we need a better way to experience that journey. Digital generations are shifting the paradigm and women’s health is a powerful emerging market. Together these trends will transform healthcare.
