Chanel Power doesn't just build technology, she builds the systems that determine who gets to.

A Developer Relations leader, startup technical advisor, and serial institution-builder, Chanel operates at the intersection of technical excellence and global access, architecting AI solutions, enabling developers at scale, and dismantling barriers to opportunity by design. She has advised, activated, and elevated tens of thousands of technologists across 120+ countries, turning community into infrastructure and infrastructure into generational change.

As Founder and CEO of Mentor Me Collective, a Google for Startups partner, Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center Milestone Maker Alumni, and global technical institute serving 40K+ developers, Chanel has built what few can claim: a developer relations program at true scale. She has advised 30+ early-stage AI product teams annually, designed enablement programs achieving 49% engagement (3x industry benchmarks), activated partnerships with Google Cloud, IBM, and Grow with Google, and generated $45M+ in career outcomes for 600+ first-generation technologists. MMC is not a nonprofit. It is infrastructure, for talent, for access, for generational transformation.

Her technical range is matched only by her ability to translate it. She has conducted 500+ technical training sessions, built field feedback loops that shaped product roadmaps, shipped production ML systems, and navigated the full 0-to-1 founder journey, making real-time architecture decisions, building production AI platforms integrating 8+ services, and proving that the most powerful technology is one that opens doors for people who were never supposed to walk through them.

Chanel works at the frontier of Generative AI, Agentic AI, and accelerated computing, bringing deep developer relations expertise, startup ecosystem fluency, and a track record of impact that spans engineering rooms, executive briefings, and communities the industry too often overlooks.

She is not building toward legacy. She is already living it.
