About Lily Kyriacou
Founder & CEO of Rezilien, Future of Work Advisor, Workforce Change Futurist, UN Women Delegate
Lily is a business builder focused on human-centred transformation. With a decade in high-growth startups and experience leading large-scale tech transformations within enterprise organisations, she now helps leaders master continuous change. Her work uncovers the mindsets, behaviours, and team dynamics that shape how change unfolds at every level of the organisation, every step of the journey.
Rethinking Transformation With Human-Centered Design
Lily has witnessed the painful collapse of once high-performing teams. Not due to a lack of skill or experience, but because they couldn’t adapt fast enough. That moment became a personal turning point, revealing a deeper challenge in transformation: the unmeasured cost of human change.
Scaling Startups by Structuring for Resilience
Lily led commercial transformations across multiple tech scale-ups, growing revenue from £6M to £40M in under 4 years. Her approach centers around strategic GTM execution, human capital insight, and structuring teams that evolve with market shifts. Her frameworks have supported both hypergrowth and successful exits.
Lily Kyriacou’s Story
Born and raised in a small town in Paphos, Cyprus, Lily moved to the UK alone at 18 to pursue her education, experiencing massive personal, cultural, and emotional change all at once. That formative leap didn’t just shape her resilience; it became the foundation of her professional success. Her ability to lean into uncertainty, adapt fast, and find opportunity in transition has defined her career ever since. In a post-skills economy, where AI wins at everything apart from being human, Lily believes our ability to adapt is the most valuable asset in any organisation.
