Michelle de la Harpe

Michelle de la Harpe, RTCA is a hospitality and marketing expert with over 20 years in multinational companies and C-Suite roles. Being exposed at a tender young age while surrounded by the astounding biota of breathtaking Borneo, she grew up near the coast and would be on the beach almost every weekend with her family while on other days she would sit down and admire her late grandfather's competent skills at boat making and listen to his exhilarating stories of the virgin seas.

As the first female in Sabah and Malaysia to receive a Professional Certification in Technology Commercialisation, she currently specializes in ESG-focused strategies and projects while running her own eco wellness platform MDaat Eco Wellness which earned her recognition as one of Wiki Impact's 100 Malaysian Changemakers. Certified as Malaysia's first Xpert Fitness Flexibility Flow instructor, Michelle advocates wellness and holistic wellbeing.

Michelle represented Malaysia at the US State Department's International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) in 2025 and is also an alumna of the Duke of Edinburgh's Commonwealth Study Conference which took place in Canada in 2023. She currently serves on the board of CSC Global Alumni and is the first Malaysian to do so.
