AGL 362: Moral Code with Lois Melbourne

A Geek Leader Podcast - inspiring technical and creative leaders around the world

About Lois

Lois’ eighteen years as CEO and co-founder of a workforce analytics and talent management software company, gave her front-row seats to people watching within the corporate habitat. Working with clients around the world developed her deep curiosity around people’s choices and the stories surrounding them.

She continues to collaborate with her software co-founder and husband, Ross. She weaves the stories around his technology vision in their debut novel, titled Moral Code. A science-fiction for readers from book clubs to AI technologists. Bringing strong women in STEM into the possibilities of powerful ethical artificial intelligence has been creative passion project.

Upon selling their company, Lois founded the nonprofit My Future Story and published two children’s books to engage kids in their exploration of career opportunities. “STEM Club Goes Exploring” and “Kids Go To Work Day”.

Lois is now engaged in writing and advocacy for voting rights and civic education. She volunteers with several organizations improving education and many other issues that matter to her communities.

She writes because there are stories to tell and wonders to interpret and translate for others. She believes in science and rejects the concept that embracing technology leads to a dystopian future.

Raised in Iowa and then Missouri, Lois moved to warmer Texas, as soon as she had the power to choose. Her favorite quote is “Live like others won’t, until you can live like others can’t.” Residing on a tree-filled acreage, she seldom writes creatively in a conventional desk chair.
