Melissa Buyse, a proud mother of three from Belgium, is a dedicated GOVVI influencer with over 20 years of experience as a traditional business owner and four years in e-commerce. Throughout her journey, she’s combined her love for family with a passion for empowering women, building a life centered around helping others succeed. Her story is one of dedication, resilience, and inspiration.
Background
Melissa’s entrepreneurial spirit began early, building a traditional business in Belgium with her husband. Over the years, their hard work earned them the “Best of Belgium” award. “That recognition from our clients meant everything to us after more than 20 years of dedication,” Melissa reflects.
But beyond business success, Melissa is most proud of her three boys, aged 15, 16, and 17, who have grown into independent young men. Balancing motherhood, business, and being a certified sports coach wasn’t easy. “The biggest challenge was keeping all the balls in the air… I had to learn to say NO and focus on what made me happy,” she shares.
Why GOVVI?
Melissa joined GOVVI in March 2024, drawn by its mission to empower women and provide financial freedom. “I wanted to help women become independent and provide for their kids and themselves,” she explains.
