Meet Vestaen Balbuena

Vestaen Balbuena is a co-founder of Aayu Well and its Vice President of Strategy and Finance. Her background spans business strategy, clinical nutrition and health technology.

At Aayu Well she leads patient engagement and education strategy, built around care that lasts: habits, support between visits, and a plan for keeping the weight off.

Before Aayu Well, she co-founded a women's health startup and worked in management consulting. She holds an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, a Master of Science in clinical and public health nutrition from University College London, and a Bachelor of Science in biomedical sciences from Brunel University London.

Vestaen is not a clinician. Medical care at Aayu Well is led by Darshan Patel, MD, an obesity medicine physician.
