Meet Aimee, Menovate's Founder
Many companies lose valuable employees during menopause, often unaware of the impact it can have on women’s performance and well-being.
Founder and certified Menopause Coach Aimee Debow, who has over 25 years of corporate experience, knows this struggle firsthand.
I struggled at work with exhaustion, brain fog and severe joint pain, but I felt unable to share this with my boss or HR. I knew that with support, I could continue to be a great employee. Now that I have the skills, education and medical support to navigate this transition, I am so much stronger: mind, bones, muscles and life! I am passionate about sharing what I have journeyed and learned. – Aimee
As a seasoned business leader and inclusion advocate, Aimee works with organizations to build awareness and allyship, advocate, and train leaders and HR professionals on how to support employees through this pivotal life stage. By creating menopause-inclusive workplaces, employers foster engagement, improve retention, and cultivate a culture of psychological safety and inclusivity.
