With original training as a journalist, Ms Melissa Le Mesurier has 25 years experience as a senior corporate affairs executive with blue-chip organisations such as Medibank, Kraft/Cadbury, Foster’s Group and Australian Airlines. She is currently the Principal of MLM Consulting which advises executives and boards on strategy, reputation, cultural change and communications. Both professionally and personally, Ms Le Mesurier is passionate about medical research, consumer engagement and patient empowerment – something sparked when her (now adult) son was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in 1996. She is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a member of the Australian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group Consumer Advisory Panel. She was previously a member of the Alfred Hospital’s CF Consumer Advisory Panel and founding Chair of the Royal Children’s Hospital Cystic Fibrosis Research Trust (1999-2009) which has raised more than $3 million for research and funded about 20 clinical fellows.
