Melanie Fellay is cofounder and CEO at Spekit. Described as having “unshakeable grit and a thirst for solving complex problems,” Melanie has devoted her professional life to advancing a vision of a world where every employee has access to the knowledge they need to be successful, exactly when and where they need it.

Fascinated with how we learn and absorb information, Melanie uncovered gaps between how employees are traditionally trained in the workplace and how humans actually retain knowledge. She co-founded Spekit to solve this challenge, creating a platform designed around how people learn. Flipping the script on the outdated LMS courses, PDFs, and lengthy trainings, Spekit automatically surfaces answers and training directly within the applications/workflows where questions arise. Today, the world’s most innovative companies, including Uber Freight, iHeartMedia, Southwest Airlines, and Invesco, rely on Spekit to maximize the growth and impact of their employees.

Along the journey to reinvent learning at work, Melanie actively shares the trials and tribulations of scaling an organization as a female founder. From overcoming imposter syndrome to embracing radical candor to leading a team with your heart first—she is redefining what it means to be a “boss lady” in a male-dominated world.
