Michelle Robson is the Founder and CEO of EmpowHER.com, a nationally recognized women's health and wellness advocate. She has combined a successful track record as a businesswoman and entrepreneur with nearly two decades of civic and community leadership, focusing on her personal passion for improving women's health to lead what is today one of the fastest-growing social health companies in the world.

No stranger to standing in the gap for the women EmpowHER supports, Michelle testified before the FDA and led the second largest write-in campaign in FDA history for drugs and treatments for women's health in June 2010, and testified before the FDA a second time in March 2013.

Michelle's goal is to drive innovation and change in patient experience, health care delivery, and development and approval of health-improving, life-changing medicine, treatments and procedures for women around the world. 

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
