Capital M

I was hired by the United Nations’ Sanitation and Hygiene Fund (SHF) and key global partners to rename a pioneering global initiative focused on menstrual health equity.

I developed the name Capital M to reflect both “capital” as the catalytic investment and resources needed to unlock markets and opportunity, and “M” for menstrual health, market momentum, and movement—signaling a bold shift from piecemeal solutions to a market-led moonshot that builds thriving, investible systems for menstrual products and dignity for women and girls worldwide.
