Under the leadership of Katie McCormick Lelyveld, MELD's strategic direction is anchored in her role as a CEO Advisor and Fellow at Harvard's Technology and Entrepreneurship Center. Her expertise guides MELD's expansion into academic, business, and athletic sectors nationwide. Katie's vision is fueled by her dedication to strategic leadership and innovation, setting the course for MELD to become a pivotal platform for women's advancement.
Katie's journey, influenced by the strong women in her life, reflects her commitment to challenging the status quo. From her mother's encouragement to her experiences with dynamic First Ladies who were driving true "firsts", she has harnessed these influences to forge a career in connecting people and creating opportunities. At MELD, Katie leverages these experiences to bridge the gap between the potential of high-performing women and the existing workplace systems, cultivating a dynamic network of women leaders poised to drive meaningful change.

Meet MELD’s first interns! This team of leaders and doers will be integral in designing and delivering our content and programming this year - and we’re excited to introduce you to Adreonnis, McMillan, Michelle, Morgan, and Shukria.
It's the first day of Women's History Month! Take a second today to make a goal for yourself for the month ahead. What do you want to learn? Who can help teach you? How will you mentor someone else? How will you lead in a way that matters in your life? This month is a time of reflection and focus - to acknowledge history and design for the future - one MELD moment at a time. Make your moment. Make your story.
Meet Morgan, MELD’s social media intern. We talk a lot at MELD about questions we are wrestling with. Here are some of Morgan’s. What are yours? Tell us and we’ll share answers from our MELD network in our future content. Let’s go girls
