This week, host Eva Hartling speaks with Melody Adhami, the “Queen of Apps.” Melody launched Ontario’s first private testing operation during Covid, with labs that conducted over 350,000 COVID tests for individuals and companies. Her latest tech venture is also in health, supporting women's fertility journey. Melody had quit her steady job working on brands like Dove, Hellmann's and Lipton to launch Plastic Mobile, a company that focuses on the emerging world of mobile apps. After a successful exit, she co-founded FH Health, Ontario's first private testing operation that helps businesses keep their workforces safe. FH Health became a leader in the Covid response with 20 clinics that provided individuals and clients such as Amazon, Apple, Netflix and BMO with a sense of relief and safety. Melody’s latest venture, Pollin, is based on a fertility-focused technology platform to power a full suite of person-centric reproductive health services. As an influential leader in tech and a recognized voice in the industry, Melody also spearheads an executive women’s dinner, bringing together top female executives to discuss how to get more women into more senior leadership roles. In 2017 she was awarded Canada’s Top 40 under 40, followed by recognition as one of Canada’s Top 100 Powerful Women in both 2018 and 2019 in the Tech and Trailblazer categories.
