Championing Care Innovation with Anna Steffeney


Listen Later

Anna Steffeney is the Executive Director of FamTech.org, leading the only national technology association dedicated to innovators, partners, and policymakers transforming the $648B Care Economy.


Their mission is clear: to connect, amplify, and champion the builders creating solutions that make care more accessible, equitable, and sustainable.


Anna’s path here began personally. After the birth of her two children—one in Europe, one in the US—she saw firsthand how inadequate family leave policies in the US are compared to our peers abroad. That experience inspired her to found LeaveLogic, a family leave management platform that scaled to serve some of the largest US employers before being acquired by Unum Group. At Unum, she continued to innovate as part of the Digital Ventures and Transformation team.


Today, Anna brings more than a decade of entrepreneurship, fundraising, and business development experience—and 15 years of global corporate leadership—to the work of advancing care innovation. She’s passionate about building coalitions, amplifying founders’ voices, and advocating for systems change.


During this episode, we discuss:

  • How FamTech is the intersection of femtech, parent tech, baby and kid tech, and aging tech, all viewed through the caregiver’s perspective.
  • Anna’s story that led her to found LeaveLogic
  • What inspired her to lead FamTech.org
  • The benefits that the organization offers
  • Anna’s focus on policy strategy in 2026
  • Key trends shaping the future of the sector


And more. Tune into this episode as we dive into all things care economy!
