Biography

Mel Lim is a seasoned technology storyteller and strategy consultant. Her success record
for growing and scaling companies has positioned her as one of the most sought-after
consultants in the tech and software startup scene. Traditionally trained in architecture, this
Malaysian-born Chinese immigrant, single mother and serial entrepreneur from humble
beginnings began her career designing retail centers, casinos, stadiums, and hotels in Asia,
Europe, and the US. Mel went on to found an innovation strategy and design agency that
has garnered hundreds of industry accolades. Recognizing her knack for building businesses

innovative tech companies in the world. Her current and past clients include well-known

a book (due to be released in May, 2018) entitled Turtle Design in a Rabbit Age. Published by
CRC Press, her book offers a platform to help people achieve equanimity and find meaning
