The Person Behind the Programme

Orgesa Meli

Seventeen years in corporate finance. Three businesses. A mum of two. A competitive public speaker. And the person who built ConfigurAI from inside her own working week.

17 years in corporate finance. Budgets, financial models, and back-to-back meetings where every number had to be right. I was good at it. I ran things. But I was building someone else's business, and I knew it.

Orgesa Meli, founder of ConfigurAI

This is the programme I wish someone had designed for me. Every AI training I found was either too technical, too theoretical, or taught by someone who had never had a real job with real deadlines and a real inbox. I wanted something a finance director could take on a Wednesday evening and use on Thursday morning. So I made it.

Orgesa Meli working with AI tools

I came to AI the way you probably did. Opened ChatGPT. Typed something. Got a mediocre answer. Nearly closed it and moved on. But I do not close things until I have properly tried them. I spent months testing every tool, every prompting technique, every workflow. I figured out what actually saves time and what just looks impressive on LinkedIn. Now I use AI to run three businesses, content, training, communications, and research, and I still pick my children up from school at half three.

I figured out what actually saves time and what just looks impressive on LinkedIn.

In my late 30s, with two small children, I left. No tech background. No investors. No safety net. Just a decision I could not take back and did not want to. In the same year, I rebuilt my health from the ground up, not with a coach or a programme, just with the same stubbornness that got me through seventeen years of finance. I proved to myself I could change something I thought was permanent. That mattered more than any job title I ever held.

The Businesses

Today I run three.

ConfigurAI

AI Training and Certification

AI training for professionals and organisations. The six-week cohort, the AI Audit, and corporate programmes. Built around one principle: real results, documented from week two.

Configur Academy

Children's Education

Teaching children the skills school does not: public speaking, leadership, entrepreneurship. Real children building real businesses and selling at real markets.

ConfigurSelf

Health and Lifestyle

A weekly newsletter on health, lifestyle, and the systems behind how you actually change. Written from lived experience, not theory.

Outside the Work

I am a mum of two. A competitive public speaker. I believe the ability to communicate clearly, whether that is to a boardroom, a seven-year-old, or a chatbot, is the most underrated professional skill there is.

My finance brain means I am obsessed with measurable outcomes. You will not leave any of my programmes with a vague sense that AI is useful. You will leave with a number. Hours saved. Every week.

What They Said

The programme gave me practical hands-on capability with generative AI applied to real business workflows. It covered the governance and risk side properly, which most AI training skips, and forced me to think commercially about where AI actually saves time.

Senior professional

I am very happy to recommend Orgesa's programmes to anyone I know. I have seen the results myself.

Senior manager, professional services

I started applying everything I learned from day one. It changed the way I work with AI.
