Build Your Power: The Corporate Leader Who Pivoted to Build a Global Brand
Melesia Adderley
Introduction In the world of entrepreneurship, Melesia Adderley is a force of nature. A night owl founder with an ambitious work ethic who embodies the very spirit of building your own power. Stepping away from a robust corporate career in 2017, the Cayman Islands-based CEO and Board Director didn’t just start a company; she constructed a real business with real infrastructure—from manufacturing and supply chains to governance and distribution. Her venture, Women’s Haven®, is now the Caribbean's first female-owned organic feminine care brand of its kind, operating across 15
countries with products in over 100 retail stores. The journey from a simple idea to a global, mission- driven enterprise that has sold over 3 million products is a masterclass in resilience, empowerment, and seizing control of one’s destiny. The Power of the Personal Pivot Melesia’s idea for Women’s Haven® didn’t begin with a business plan; it was born from a frustrating, personal health journey. Recognising a significant gap in access, education, and affordable, safe products, she saw that women across the Caribbean were "normalizing discomfort”, pain and health" due to toxic ingredients in conventional feminine hygiene brands.
