Meet the Team

Olivia Musa
FOUNDER
Olivia founded The Male Fertility Clinic in 2021 after witnessing the lack of dedicated services for male fertility across London.
As a member of the Health Care Professions Council, Olivia spent the early years of her career working in private and NHS fertility laboratories. It was this experience which gave Olivia an insight into the male perspective; sadly, often overlooked with a lack of support.
“The vision was to create a private, comfortable space where men could feel heard and understood. Difficulties conceiving, pregnancy loss and family planning, for example, are not discussions which should be reserved for women only. I am really proud of the space we have created; not only this but we are on a mission to spread awareness, break down taboos and help men to feel informed no matter where they are on their individual journey.”

Abz Musa
CO-FOUNDER / MANAGING DIRECTOR
Abz co-founded the clinic with his wife, Olivia. His background in events and previously running his own small business has helped him to gain experience in what is required in the day-to-day running of the clinic.
Abz is dedicated to ensuring that a high quality service for each and every visitor is maintained at all times. His involvement in the service can be seen from the design of the clinic, to staff management, to creative social media posts; Abz really cares about every aspect which helps the service to run smoothly.
“As a guy in 2023, I feel we have been left behind on important conversations and knowledge about fertility. We didn’t have any education on the topic growing up, and it’s only now that society is becoming more and more aware of the factors affecting sperm counts and reproduction rates. Things are changing and our ultimate goal is to make male fertility testing normal and accessible.”

Rose Tomlinson
MEDICAL SECRETARY
Rose is here to help with everything behind the scenes; setting up appointments, writing marketing materials and anything the clinic needs to make sure everything runs smoothly.
You will more than likely be speaking to her as your first point of contact!
Coming from a background in Psychology followed by her career in PR and also most recently working in early years education, Rose has a great understanding of what it takes to make sure every customer feels that their experience runs seamlessly. She also is a mother of three so is used to getting things organised!
“Working within the male fertility sector is so interesting and I am looking forward to helping as many men as I can, who would like to understand their own fertility.”

Suzanne Maroof
CLINICAL EMBRYOLOGIST
Suzanne is a qualified Clinical Embryologist and is a member of the Health and Care Professions Council. She has many years of experience working in a fertility clinic and has a broad range of knowledge of both male and female fertility and also the IVF journey.
She has always relished her clinical work and particularly enjoys talking to patients and easing their fertility experience.
She undertook a research project as part of her second Master’s degree which involved comparing different methods of semen analysis and assessing their accuracy. She was very interested in testing novel devices and at-home testing kits that would facilitate the semen analysis process in the future. Her research was chosen to be presented at European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology annual conference.
‘It has always been my passion to support the couple through every step of their journey as I have witnessed how daunting the fertility experience can be. In the past, the male perspective has been widely overlooked until The Male Fertility Clinic was founded and paved a strong path for the future of male patients. They have expertly developed a comfortable, reassuring and knowledgeable clinic for male patients to guide them on their journey. I am honoured to be part of this team and to give advice and hope to patients.’

Following this, Ellie spent 2 years as a Quality Control Laboratory Analyst where she ensured the highest standards of product integrity and safety.
"I think it's important for men to have access to a clinic like TMFC where they can feel supported along their fertility journey. As this can be an unusual appointment, I want to ensure everyone who comes into the clinic feels comfortable and without judgement, to seek the answers they need."
