Inspired by women, created for women
We train women from underrepresented backgrounds in product management and AI — removing barriers through real-world experience, mentorship, and cutting-edge tools.
Kimolian Academy was founded with the mission to empower women to create impactful products aligned with their purpose. We are a team of product leaders passionate about inspiring the next generation of women product leaders and founders!
We are all about coaching women on how to create tech-enabled products with a positive impact. Not just tech-for-good products. Every tech product we build invariably has an impact, and we need to adopt product management practices to design for a positive impact on the environment and society.
Our Founder
Eleni is a product executive with 20+ years building at institutional scale — VP Product at Atypon (grown from $1M to $70M, acquired by Wiley), EVP at Informa Markets, and holder of six US patents.
The name "Kimolian" comes from Kimolos, a Greek island whose chalk was used in the first academies of ancient Greece. Eleni founded the Academy because the most capable people she met had no pathway into product — not due to ability, but access.
Eleni also leads Kimolian.AI, an AI consultancy helping SMEs and leadership teams adopt AI — the funding partner behind the Academy's scholarships.
"Great products are built when people from different perspectives work together in creative tension."
