AARON GASCOIGNE FOUNDER & CEO

Prior to developing, formulating and creating Fertility Health – home of Vitamenz and Vitawomenz , Aaron worked in an unrelated industry. Whilst Aaron and Jacinta’s journey is well documented, it’s important to understand what drives Aaron to strive for perfection in everyday life. Aaron has extensive experience with global funds management both in New Zealand and overseas. Of recent times, Aaron was Vice President of Global and International Equities for JP Morgan and prior to that, The Bank of New York in London and Sydney.

Throughout his time in the financial world Aaron developed an acumen for research, development and a deep desire to understand and analyse everything that was important to him, his clients and his family.

This skill set was transposed into his world of fertility health, IVF and the desire to create his second child became priority number one. Aaron spent years researching male and female health and fertility to help him understand what he needed to do to be at his peak to help aid in the conception cycle. With the assistance and guidance of some of the greatest fertility minds on the planet he created Vitamenz and then Vitawomenz. The rest as they say is history.

JACINTA GASCOIGNE MARKETING DIRECTOR

Jacinta has studied and worked all over the world. She has completed a Degree in Management with Honors, part of which was completed at a Japanese University. During her time overseas in London and Sydney, Jacinta was a Hedge Fund Equity Trader for a Global Hedge Fund. Alongside her Degree she also has numerous post graduate level qualifications in financial services.

Jacinta’s fertility journey is well documented and there is very little that she hasn’t experienced through her desire to become a Mum. Jacinta’s drive and passion to ensure that other women do not experience what she went through also shines through with her strategic direction she gives to the Fertility Health team.

Jacinta is a contact point for Secondary Infertility for Fertility New Zealand and assists were she can within that organization.
