About Mel
Hello, world!
I'm on a mission to help individuals and organizations build wealth and well-being.
Outside of my work, you can often find me on adventures with friends. Whether I'm exploring the oceans scuba diving, hiking or rock climbing in the mountains, or playing padel, I love staying active and connecting with nature.
My Journey
I am an East-West mixed-race third culture kid, with roots in Boston, California, Singapore, and Indonesia.
Over the past 15+ years, I've been on an entrepreneurial journey, working with startups, non-profits, and social enterprises to bring their ideas to life and build impactful organizations.
I also work at the forefront of the future of finance and help people get on the path to financial freedom and empowerment.
My Expertise
Business Strategist and Advisor
As a business strategy consultant serving mission-driven organizations, entrepreneurs, and Web3 projects. With over 15 years of experience as a cross-functional leader and consultant in startups, impact organizations, and SMEs in tech, crypto, real estate, sustainability, wellness, and leadership development, I bring together the intersection of regenerative solutions.
Personal Finance and Crypto Educator
As a personal finance and crypto educator and consultant, I help people move towards financial freedom and holistic well-being. A crypto investor and early participant in pioneering crypto communities since 2014, I have consulted for crypto companies in the US, Europe, and Asia, including a top-tier exchange and innovative decentralized solutions like blockchain micronations and on-chain universal basic income.
Eco-neighborhood
Co-founder & Developer
As an eco-neighborhood co-founder, I am dedicated to building a regenerative future. I co-founded Bali's first and most longstanding eco-neighborhood more that 12 years ago. Since then I've supported several eco development projects around Indonesia spanning tens of thousands of hectares and 100+ islands. I collaborate with universities and permaculture groups looking to study our models and eco tech.

My Beliefs
I believe that without passion and purpose, business is an empty pursuit. This is why the diverse projects I've worked on always focus on bettering our inner and outer worlds while tackling major global issues.
From supporting the ecological and regenerative development of our communities to promoting mindfulness and emotional intelligence in workplaces and schools to putting more wealth in the hands of the underrepresented, my work is driven by a desire to create a positive impact.
