Africa does not lack mineral wealth. It lacks women at the table where that wealth is negotiated.
Founder & Chief Executive Officer · Women in Commodities (Pty) Ltd
A seasoned commodity trade professional with over a decade of experience across African mineral markets, Melissa founded Women in Commodities to address a critical gap: the near-absence of women in executive-level mineral trade roles across the continent.
Her mandate is bold — to build an enterprise that does not merely participate in Africa's commodity economy, but actively transforms it — proving that female leadership and commercial excellence are one and the same.
