Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStefano Melchior is a cleantech entrepreneur and CEO-founder with two decades of cross-industry experience in operations, procurement and innovation spanning energy, manufacturing, telco, media and FMCG. He now leads BeChained AI, a Techstars-backed startup that autonomously optimizes industrial energy use and has built BarnOwlAI, a serial digital-twin generator targeting a $700bn market while cutting millions of tonnes of CO2. A three-time founder with an MBA and engineering background, he combines data-driven strategy and physical AI deployment skills to deliver rapid payback and measurable cost reductions for heavy industry. His career blends hands-on technical roots (automation and robotics) with procurement and transformation leadership at global firms, enabling pragmatic scaling of deep-tech solutions. Fluent in Spanish (DELE C2) and experienced in acceleration and fundraising programs, he is as comfortable with investor pitches as with plant-floor integrations. Not obvious: he often leverages procurement and supplier-relationship expertise to accelerate pilot adoption and shorten commercial cycles for industrial AI projects.
