Melanie Hui believes that lasting progress happens when people have power to shape their lives. This principle has guided her career, from building a community-led clean water franchise in rural Bangladesh to her current role as CEO of Luminate.
At Luminate, a philanthropic foundation established by Pierre and Pam Omidyar, Melanie guides a global team working at the intersection of technology, rights, and justice. She champions a strategy focused on supporting the ecosystem of advocates, organisers, and innovators who are working to make technology a tool for justice and opportunity.
Melanie has deep cross-sector experience, having shaped the Chandler Foundation’s grant-making strategy, managed communications at the Clermont Group and the World Bank, and led Luminate’s work in Asia prior to becoming CEO. She also serves on the board of Landesa, an organisation focused on securing land rights for the world's poorest people.
