Stephanie Melodia

AI Productivity, MBA faculty in Entrepreneurship, Creator of Hacking Luck™

Stephanie Melodia is an entrepreneurship and growth strategist ranked among the UK’s Most Influential Female Founders, and creator of Hacking Luck™, a research-backed framework of eight principles for stacking the odds in your favour through mindset and practical action. Her signature talk adapts that framework for the Post-Productivity Era, positioning Hacking Luck™ as an operating system for human capital in the age of AI — as machines absorb repetitive work, value shifts to the traits AI can’t replicate: creativity, judgement, connection and calculated risk-taking.

As former CEO of an award-winning marketing consultancy, host of the UK Top 20 Business Show, and MBA mentor in entrepreneurship, she brings a rare blend of founder experience and academic grounding to conversations on innovation, resilience, and growth.

Her talks on women’s empowerment in the age of AI challenge audiences to confront the patriarchal systems shaping technology and bring women actively into its development, rather than being left behind again. Trusted by brands including Soho House, Qatar Airways, WeTransfer, and Harvey Nash Group, and stages such as Web Summit, TechBBQ, and Women in Tech Sweden, Stephanie brings bold energy and audience-tested frameworks to both keynotes and workshops.
