Lydia Melton is a founder-turned-Chief of Staff with a proven track record of building something from nothing. In 2013, inspired by her time studying abroad in Belgium, she launched Günter Hans — a Europub in Columbia, MO — growing it into a beloved local institution over nine years before a successful exit. With an MBA and a background in marketing and business management, Lydia brings operator-level intuition to everything she does. She knows what it takes to build, scale, and hand off a business — and now channels that experience into helping founders and leadership teams execute with clarity and speed.
