Our Team
Mariane Melo
HTC Team Lead
A first Year MBA student at London Business School, Mariane is a medical doctor and healthtech founder working at the intersection of clinical care, AI, and entrepreneurship. After qualifying in Brazil, she moved to the UK and worked across emergency medicine, neurology, and oncology in the NHS, while simultaneously co-founding a healthtech startup. Over five years, she led the development of an AI clinical decision support product adopted by NHS organisations, gaining hands-on experience in fundraising, product strategy, clinical validation, and team leadership.

She joined London Business School to scale her impact as a founder — strengthening her strategic, financial, and leadership skills — and to build technologies that meaningfully improve access, outcomes, and sustainability in healthcare. She is particularly passionate about AI-driven solutions in longevity and preventative care.
