Melts father wanted him to become a physician like his grandfather.
Unable to stomach the blood associated with surgical work, he
decided to enter pharmacy school instead. That opened the door into
the world of medical innovations and sales. In 1992, Melt received
his bachelors degree in pharmacy from North-West University in
South Africa. He joined Eli Lilly and Company as a pharmacy intern
in 1993.
During his journey from intern to vice president of emerging
markets, Melt lived and worked in several countries across the
world. In England, he discovered his identity in Christ and earned
a certificate in business management from Henley College. Later, in
Indianapolis, Indiana, he met his wife Marise.
Melt left Eli Lilly in 2015 to share what hes learned about
leadership with others. His book Fireflies: Leading with Excellence
and Integrity is part of that effort. Melt is a trustee at the
Firefly Leadership Trust. He lives in George, South Africa, with
Marise and their three daughters, Kristin, Mikela, and Kira. There,
he manages the family companies.
