Keren Lehsem

CEO

I’m currently the CEO and a Director/Board Member at OCON healthcare. An innovative women’s health company with a mission to introduce safer intrauterine drug-delivery technology to improve and impact women’s health and quality of life.
I’ve recently been invited to the World Economic Forum as a technology pioneer.

Prior to OCON I served as VP Corporate Development at the European pharma company VISUfarma
In addition I was a board member of a BioLight (TASE: BOLT) company: ViSci (which I previously headed as CEO) and a University lecturer in Marketing & Business English.

As the founder & CEO of ViSci Ltd (Licensed from NASDQ: AERI) & CEO of AOPharma, I successfully led Clinical, R&D and BD activities (FDA: 505(b)(2) & 510K) that included GMP Manufacturing, CMC, Regulatory & Clinical Operations) to achieve commercial status and MTAs (Material Transfer Agreements) including fund raising close to $100M in my various roles.

I currently sit on FemTech Lab’s admissions and advisory Board as well as LSX’s Advisory Board and I’m a Mentor at the 8400 Healthtech Network program.

I believe in strengthening women and I make sure to lead with passion, integrity and focus on my brilliant team of (mostly) women, service providers and customers. I make sure to donate my time and my earnings to and with women that are starting out their career path and those whom have made choices that require mentoring. I love what I do and I do what I love.
