Introduction to Embark On Talent
Embark On Talent is a specialist talent consultancy for businesses within the Femtech, Women’s Health, and Wellness sectors. We exist to connect forward-thinking organisations with exceptional talent, enabling them to drive innovation and create a lasting impact in spaces that have historically been underfunded and overlooked. By understanding the unique challenges and opportunities within these industries, we are able to provide bespoke services that empower businesses to grow and thrive; offering a range of solutions that align with strategic objectives.
For much of medical history, women were excluded from clinical trials. It wasn't until 1993 that the United States passed legislation mandating the inclusion of women in federally-funded research. This exclusion has had profound consequences; many treatments and medications were developed based on male biology, leading to misdiagnoses, ineffective treatments, and higher risks of adverse side effects in women. For example, research shows that women are 50–75% more likely to experience serious side effects from medications than men due to these gaps in research​.
The exclusion of women from research is a glaring example of how their health has been systematically overlooked. Even today, representation remains uneven. In fields such as cardiology, women make up a smaller proportion of US clinical trial participants relative to the burden of disease they bear. Such disparities highlight the critical need for a more inclusive approach to health and wellness innovation​.
Embark On Talent was created to challenge these inequities. We partner with organisations that are reimagining health and wellness for women, providing them with the talent they need to innovate and grow. By prioritising industries that have historically been undervalued, we aim to foster meaningful change, creating a future where women’s health and wellness are no longer an afterthought but a cornerstone of innovation.
We recognise that the best teams are made up of individuals with varied perspectives and experiences. Embark On Talent champions diversity and inclusion, ensuring that every candidate has the opportunity to thrive in organisations that are committed to shaping a better future.

A Message from the Founder
​"I founded Embark On Talent with one clear purpose: to positively contribute to a community that is redefining the way in which women's health is valued and understood. As an advocate for sectors that have been traditionally overlooked, and someone who recognises the immense opportunities they present, I felt compelled to be a part of the long-overdue shift in societal perspective.
This led me to create a company that helps businesses in securing the right talent, enabling them to reach their goals while also fostering diverse, innovative teams that drive growth. ​​​Embark On Talent partners with organisations that are committed to making a real impact and connecting them with exceptionally talented, top-tier candidates who are shaping the future of these industries.
​
I am genuinely excited to play my part and hope to create meaningful partnerships that help these industries flourish for years to come." - Natalie
