Andrea Sambar Steps In as COO to Scale &you's Next Chapter

Manila, Philippines — &you has appointed Andrea Sambar as its Chief Operating Officer, bringing one of the Philippines' most respected operators into the heart of the company's next phase of growth.

Sambar joins at a pivotal moment. &you has already established itself as the country's most talked-about digital health platform, with over 10,000 Filipinos on its waitlist and a pre-seed round closed with New York-based Everywhere VC. The question now isn't whether the demand is real. It's whether the operations can keep up with it. That's precisely where Sambar comes in.

An Operator Built for Scale

Andrea Sambar brings a track record of building and running complex organizations in fast-moving environments. Having navigated the complexities of high-growth e-commerce and logistics at Boozy as CEO, she now applies that same consumer-first rigor to &you, ensuring that stigma-free wellness is as accessible and seamless as any modern digital experience.

Her appointment signals something important about the kind of company &you intends to be: one that doesn't just grow fast, but grows well. One where the patient experience is protected at every touchpoint, the team is structured to deliver, and the operations behind the platform are as thoughtfully designed as the product itself.

What Andrea Sambar Will Own

As COO, Sambar will oversee the end-to-end operational engine of &you — from the medical and clinical workflows that power its telehealth services to the logistics infrastructure behind Labs by &you, the company's pharmaceutical formulation and fulfillment arm.

Her mandate includes:

• Reducing waitlist times and expanding the capacity of &you's medical network to serve more Filipinos, faster
• Strengthening operational quality across all service lines, ensuring that the care delivered matches the care promised
• Building the internal team and organizational structure needed to support growth beyond Metro Manila
• Driving cross-functional alignment between product, medical, marketing, and logistics as the company scales its service offering

A Company That Takes Operations Seriously

For Sambar, joining &you wasn't just a career move. It was a conviction.

"What drew me to &you is that the mission is genuinely urgent," she says. "There are millions of Filipinos who deserve better access to care and who have been told in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that their health isn't a priority. Building the operations that change that, that's meaningful work. That's why I'm here."

With Sambar now at the operational helm, &you is positioned not just to grow, but to grow in a way that earns and keeps the trust of every patient who walks through its digital doors.
