Originally from the island of Penang, Malaysia, Mel and her sister grew up hungry, without hot water or reliable electricity. Her late parents were hard-working entrepreneurs, who imparted strong values, convictions, a powerful work ethic and determination to survive and thrive. These key traits of resiliency and grit equipped her with unique abilities to help global companies strategically problem solve, to see potential, influence change, and drive innovation.
