Scientist, entrepreneur and founder of SökerData, Dr Elsa Zekeng is working to address one of the biggest blind spots in modern healthcare: who is represented in the data. In this STYLISA FoundHers interview, Elsa reflects on her journey into STEM, the realities of building as a Black woman in health tech, and why the future of medicine, AI and personalised treatment depends on creating systems that work for everyone.

This is a conversation about power, systems and responsibility. In this first FoundHers Boardroom interview, Dr Marilyn Comrie OBE, shares what it really means to operate at board level, how global energy dynamics are reshaping economies, and why building the future requires more than strategy alone. From Verciti to South Africa, this is leadership at a level most people don’t see.

Building a business and accessing capital are only part of the story. There is another layer that is far less visible, where decisions are made, influence is exercised, and direction is set. In this FoundHers Notes piece, I explore the gap between visibility and power, and why understanding what happens inside these rooms matters more than we often acknowledge.
