Who We Are at Hibiskus Vines Consulting?
About Hibiskus Vine Consulting Services, Inc.
Hibiskus Vine Consulting Services, Inc. provides structured advisory services for mission-driven institutions and senior professionals navigating organizational complexity, leadership transition, and strategic growth.
Each engagement is intentionally scoped to support measurable, sustainable outcomes. As a selective boutique advisory practice, the firm accepts a limited number of engagements each quarter to ensure depth, responsiveness, and strong institutional alignment.
Founded by Dr. Janella Melius, Hibiskus Vine Consulting operates at the intersection of business strategy, social systems, and leadership development. With more than two decades of experience across foster care, public health, higher education, and community-based systems, Dr. Melius brings a disciplined systems-level perspective informed by both scholarship and executive practice.
Clients engage the firm during periods requiring clarity, sound judgment, and thoughtful execution. Advisory engagements are collaborative and governance-informed, helping leaders translate complex priorities into clear strategic direction and actionable next steps.
Our Advisory Approach
Strong strategy requires both thoughtful analysis and disciplined judgment. Our advisory approach helps leaders navigate complexity through systems awareness, ethical clarity, and respect for lived experience.
We believe equity should inform how decisions are implemented, while integrity should shape how advisors and clients engage with one another. We also support responsible innovation, including the thoughtful integration of artificial intelligence, ensuring technology strengthens organizational capacity without replacing professional expertise or human-centered leadership.
Each engagement is intentionally designed to translate complex challenges into clear direction, operational alignment, and sustainable progress that extends beyond a single moment of transition.
