BLANCA’S OFFICIAL BIO
I’m Blanca Melendez, a Personal Brand Strategist, Visual Brand Expert, Business Owner, and Speaker. I help executives, founders, and professionals stand out, be seen, and make an impact through Personal Branding and Visual Identity. With over 14 years of running my own business and more than a decade in corporate roles at Siemens, Nestlé, and The Gates Corporation, I have a deep understanding of the business world and how strategic and visual branding come together with storytelling to create a lasting impact.
Having lived and worked in multiple countries, I speak English, German, and Spanish fluently, which helps me connect with diverse audiences. I know how hard it can be to step into the spotlight, and that’s why I created a practical framework to help professionals refine their brand, build confidence, and show up authentically.
I believe that Your life is a story that deserves to be told, and personal branding is about owning that story and sharing it with the right people to create impact and attract opportunities. My talks and workshops are interactive, down-to-earth, and designed to get people into action—not just inspired, but actually moving forward.
