Lisa Wright – Founder - Menopause the Wright Way (MtWW)
After a career spent working within the data industry, including 18 years as the MD of an internationally based corporate, Lisa decided to change focus and pursue a business opportunity based upon her lifelong interest in sport and nutrition. Following completion of a Masters’ degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science at University of Chester, whilst also qualifying as a British Triathlon Coach, Lisa founded MtWW. Lisa’s interest in the subject was triggered by her dissertation research project that examined the impact of Vitamin D on peri/menopausal symptoms experienced by female endurance athletes.
MtWW helps businesses and individuals to manage the impact of this life transition that women will experience. Support and guidance are available for diverse groups including:
- senior leaders, enabling them to understand the business impact
- managers, who may have menopausal team members and need to have difficult conversations
- female employees, providing evidence-based information and support around all aspects of the perimenopause and menopause
- male employees wishing to support their partners
