If you ever get the chance to sit across from Lakshmi Menon—an experienced healthcare professional, strong supporter of fertility awareness, and current CEO of TMC Fertility Holdings (soon to be called Thomson Fertility)—you’ll quickly notice two things. First, she’s not just someone who knows her field well; she’s someone who truly lives and breathes it. Second, behind her calm manner and thoughtful words lies a strong sense of purpose—the kind that comes from over 25 years of working in healthcare (and likely hundreds of high-level meetings).
