About Melanie Lui

I’m a results-oriented manufacturing professional with extensive experience leading high-impact initiatives in fast-paced, global environments. Whether increasing production capacity for critical new products or mitigating supply chain risks with creative, cost-efficient solutions, I consistently deliver results by aligning stakeholders, solving complex problems, and streamlining operations through both internal and external partnerships. I also bring deep experience working with vendors to evaluate their service capabilities, such as identifying new technologies for continuous improvement and optimizing throughput for high-volume manufacturing.While my background has been rooted in semiconductors, I’m eager to apply my skills and experience—and continue learning—in adjacent industries that advance sustainability and community needs, such as renewable energy, sustainable chemicals/materials, and consumer goods that improve everyday life. I specialize in executing multimillion-dollar CapEx projects ($4M–$20M) and enabling scalable growth through data-driven decision-making, cross-functional collaboration, and a strong technical foundation. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution—where data meets leadership—to drive continuous improvement and long-term manufacturing success.
