About Mel
Welcome to my corner of the digital world!
I'm Mel and I'm passionate about helping individuals and organizations navigate the intersection of business, finance, and well-being.
Outside of my work, you can often find me on adventures with friends. Whether I'm exploring the oceans through 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 finance freedom and empowerment.
​
Expertise
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, regenerative real estate, wellness, and leadership development, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.
​
As a personal finance and crypto educator, 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 various crypto companies in the US, Europe, and Asia, including a top-tier exchange and innovative DAPP concepts like blockchain micronations and on-chain universal basic income.
As an eco-neighborhood co-founder, I am dedicated to building a regenerative future.

My Beliefs
I believe that without passion and purpose, business is an empty pursuit. This is why the diverse companies I've established and worked with 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.
