Co-Founder and CEO, Frame
Jessica Bell van der Wal is reframing family planning as the Co-Founder and CEO of Frame, a venture she launched with her husband in 2020 following their own fertility crisis. Prior to Frame, she led teams in marketing, customer success, operations, and strategy at various early- and late-stage companies including Castlight Health, Nike, Deloitte Consulting, and Genentech.
She currently sits on the advisory boards of two digital health companies as well as multiple educational institutions, nonprofits, and women’s empowerment organizations. Jessica’s foundational training in public health and international volunteer experience colors her passion for health solutions on a broad scale. Jessica holds a BA in Public Health from UNC Chapel Hill and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Frame is the first collaborative care platform for fertility and family building. Frame partners with healthcare providers and payers to provide holistic care, coaching, and 1:1 support for patients at any stage of their family-building journey, leading to better outcomes and lower costs for everyone involved.
