In 2019, Melody launched a second media venture: "C'est qui la boss?" ("Who's the boss?"), aimed at supporting women in their careers by inspiring their ambitions and celebrating their successes. By showcasing inspiring role models from various backgrounds, "C'est qui la boss?" succeeded in bringing together over 700,000 women in France, offering podcasts, videos, and events that connected thousands of women and provided them with the connections they need to find their own voice and path.
Her success is further evidenced by the sale of her companies to the Media Groupe DC Company (Konbini and Legorafi).

Since he got back from Silicon Valley in 2018, Nash has been doing two things: he supports entrepreneurs in their projects, from ideation to Series A, and he accelerates transformation, change or innovation topics for medium and large companies.
After 15 years spent creating content (mainly for TV) and communications or production companies, Nash returned to his first love - tech companies - in 2016.
Since then, his purpose has been to help entrepreneurs or project holders (C-levels) move faster without making mistakes.
He has become a specialist in the "early stage" of entrepreneurship, and at the same time, an expert in collective intelligence methods that help SMBs and large corporations save time and money in the creation, deployment and growth of business solutions.
Change and transformation strategy are his favourite playground and whatever the subject, Nash always brings a data-driven and result oriented input to the table.
As a "problem solver" at heart, Nash finds great satisfaction in helping companies find solutions to the challenges they face, using inhouse talents, often through Design Sprint.
Nash is not a consultant.
He teaches, he passes on, he invests, he mentors, he advises, he facilitates.
He’s been coaching around 100 startups a year since 2017.
Nash also writes a tech and innovation newsletter called ‘The Ugly Truth’.
He is half-English, a harpsichord player and the happy father of 4 wonderful daughters.
