Mel Blyde
General Manager
These boots were made for walking, so they say.
And Mel has walked and worked her way around the traps since she got a taste for hard work and drive from her family in South Auckland growing up.
After dabbling in hairdressing, she started working in administration, and has not looked back since. Mel now has more than 25 years’ experience working for companies including law firms and engineering consultancies, specialising in marketing, operations, project management and administration.
She joined Envelope in 2017, bringing her own passion, organisation and creativity to a team which values its staff with a flat structure, and an emphasis on work/life balance. Mel thrives in a busy environment. She appreciates collaborating with people who are dedicated and determined – something which feels like second nature to her.
As well as family, she counts Sheridan Broadbent, an independent director, coach, and fellow South Aucklander who worked her way up, as influences.
Outside work, Mel loves spending time with family, gardening, and a glass or two of chilled champagne, among her favourite things.
Or you may find her in one of the capital’s boutique shoe shops, looking for new boots. Because this girl’s not done yet.
Are you ready, boots? Start walking.
