about me

I’m Melanie Larkins, founder of Holiscentia, and I specialize in high-stakes ESG / Sustainability systems. A tenured Executive with a reputation for high performance and excellence, I’ve built systems for companies like Microsoft (via LinkedIn), Accenture, Capgemini, and Protiviti. Clients are consistently impressed by my passion for and knowledge about the many dimensions of Sustainability grounded in real targets, data, metrics, and accountability.

With well-rounded and systems-focused mind, I’m a rare blend of strong academic foundation, global business leadership across industries, technical sustainability skills, and technology expertise including AI and quantum computing. Outside of work, I love to spend time with my son, walking in nature, creating art and music, practicing yoga and meditation, and ice skating.
