Aggie Cox is a senior healthcare marketing leader and women’s health advocate with over two decades of experience spanning clinical care, medical technology, and executive marketing leadership. She currently serves as Government Affairs & Marketing Director for Australia and New Zealand at Hologic, Inc., a global medical technology company dedicated to advancing women’s health through early detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
With an early career as a Registered Nurse, including frontline experience in emergency and trauma care, Aggie brings a rare clinical lens to health leadership—grounding strategy, communication, and advocacy in real patient needs. This foundation has shaped her work in ensuring women’s health messaging is evidence‑based, accessible, and designed to drive real‑world outcomes.
At Hologic, Aggie has been instrumental in elevating attention to under‑recognised and under‑treated women’s health issues, including preventive screening, sexual and reproductive health, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Her leadership has helped normalise conversations often avoided due to stigma, empowering women to seek information, diagnosis, and care earlier.
Aggie is particularly recognised for reframing marketing as a public health lever, not just a commercial function. Her work connects education, awareness, digital innovation, and clinical credibility to improve health literacy and engagement—especially among women who may delay care due to embarrassment, lack of access, or misinformation.
Aggie regularly contributes to national leadership forums, industry conferences, and community events, including International Women’s Day panels and major marketing and customer experience conferences. Her speaking focuses on the intersection of women’s health, leadership, workplace wellbeing, and purpose‑led growth, as well as resilience and non‑linear career pathways for women in leadership.
Aggie holds a Master of Marketing from Melbourne Business School and is widely respected for bridging commercial performance with social impact. She is passionate about making women’s health visible, discussable, and actionable—in healthcare systems, workplaces, and society at large.

Role of milk in cognitive function and quality of life in older adults
New research emphasises the role of cows’ milk, particularly A1 protein free milk, in enhancing cognitive function and quality of life for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A multi-centre, double-blinded, randomised controlled clinical study published in *The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging* evaluated 88 milk-tolerant Chinese adults aged 65-75 over three months. Participants consumed either ordinary skim milk or A1 protein free skim milk, leading to improvements in various cognitive assessments.

Clinical research integrates with GP and Pharmacist workflows to supplement practice revenue
Clinical trials are crucial to the development of evidence-based preventative medicines. In addition, participation in clinical trials can also provide patients with opportunities to access new treatments.
“Clinical trials are at the heart of medical advances which look into new ways to treat, prevent, or detect disease. Volunteers often do so to help contribute to advancing scientific research, knowing that they are participating in the hope of helping future generations,” said Charlotte Bradshaw, CEO and Founder to Evrima Technologies.
