After graduating from law school, Melissa Breitbart launched her first company in the fashion industry, building a brand with a strong charitable mission. Her personal journey took a profound turn following a stage three melanoma diagnosis, which inspired her to establish the Live4Life Foundation. Through the foundation, she has raised awareness and funded critical research to find effective treatment and ultimately, a cure for melanoma. 

Today, Melissa leverages her expertise as a consultant, guiding brands to expand their philanthropic footprint and create meaningful impact. She specializes in forging strategic partnerships between companies and nonprofit organizations, developing initiatives that not only raise funds but also amplify awareness of important causes. Her work has spanned industries from fashion and beauty to wellness and retail, always rooted in her belief in the power of philanthropy to drive lasting change.
