Melaina ChambersTHE THREAD: TECHNOLOGY, COMMUNITY & CHANGE 

Strategic Programs, Executive Engagement & Workplace Architecture

Designing the systems that help people navigate change.

From founding a Girls Computer Club where my friends and I learned BASIC programming on Commodore 64s, to helping deploy Wi-Fi across 4,000 Starbucks stores, to supporting Facebook's growth from 300 to 9,000 employees in Seattle.  I've spent my career at the intersection of technology and people.  Today, that same thread continues through AI.  I design the programs, systems, and experiences that help people to understand, adopt, and participate in what's next.

Origin Story

Where it all started.

Long before workplace systems, executive engagement, and AI communities, there was a small group of neighborhood girls learning BASIC programming on Commodore 64 computers.

My dad, an electronics teacher who believed technology should be accessible to everyone, helped me start "Melaina's Girls Computer Club" so my friends and I could learn to code together on Saturday mornings. The technology has evolved past anything we imagined back then, but the mission remains exactly the same: creating spaces where people learn, connect, and grow through change.

At Scale

From Community to Enterprise.

What began as a small group of girls learning BASIC programming together grew into a career helping organizations stay connected through growth and change.

From regional offices to global headquarters, I've built the programs, systems, and experiences that help people learn, connect, and adapt as organizations evolve.
