Dr. Maria Carmen Punzi is a Post-Doctoral researcher, consultant and activist. Since 2017, she has bridged the academic, non-profit, and corporate worlds to champion menstrual health as a critical yet overlooked component of gender equality. She currently co-leads a funded research project on the ethics of AI-driven period and fertility tracking apps at the KIN center of the Vrij Universiteit Amsterdam. As an engaged researcher and science communicator, she actively translates research into advocacy and social change, contributing to public debates on Femtech, menstrual equity and reproductive rights. Her insights have been featured in national and international media, such as France24, Times Radio UK and AD.nl (Netherlands). Through her business, she bridges the gender health gap by consulting companies and policy makers (e.g. Gates Foundation, UN, PwC, Vodafone) on menstrual health, contraception and Femtech.
