What do you enjoy most about working at Melaleuca? Having the opportunity to work with our Marketing Executives and Customers! I have the opportunity to discuss all areas of the business to customers and Marketing Executives in any stage of their Melaleuca business. There is a real joy with being able to rub shoulders with brand new customers, brand new Marketing Executives and our long standing, experienced and successful Senior & Executive Leaders. What attributes will you bring to enhance the coaching and mentoring of our Marketing Executives in your new role? I have gained invaluable experience from my previous roles within Melaleuca and look forward to sharing this knowledge with our Marketing Executives to assist them in enhancing their Melaleuca business and creating their own opportunities. I truly believe that passion and desire, coupled with persistent action, creates opportunities. What are some of your favourite activities to do outside of work? Having an outgoing wife and a young daughter – I’m busy to say the least! When I do manage to carve out some personal time, I enjoy creating things. I am currently working on designing a Board Game around Formula One and have a passion for constructing intricate model cars. Tell us more about your family? I married a Kiwi! We have been married for over 4 years now and call Melbourne home. We frequently travel to New Zealand to visit her family who live in the North Shore, just 300 meters from the Beach – dream location for many. The Fulmizi name comes from Croatia, in which my dad’s family has lived for more than half a century on a little island called Lastovo. I have travelled throughout Europe a few times and having lived overseas in Hong Kong for 2 years, learnt to speak the Chinese dialect of Cantonese. I frequently like to surprise many unsuspecting people with this skill!

It's simple, but it’s one of the defining reasons I am at Melaleuca. It revolves around what the company is and its mission statement: TO ENHANCE THE LIVES OF THOSE WE TOUCH BY HELPING PEOPLE REACH THEIR GOALS . What Melaleuca offers and the lives we enhance through our products and opportunities. Melaleuca really does have the power to change lives! I’ve seen it and been a part of it - it’s hard to find that in many other companies.
