Melody Mociulski
SE Asia Program Director

A native of the Seattle area, Melody Mociulski worked for the City of Seattle for twenty-four years prior to retiring in 2004. Melody’s career with the city included an eclectic combination of procurement, finance, human resource and social service roles. Her strengths in strategic policy development, innovation and change management positioned her well to spearhead Seattle’s evolution into procurement re-engineering and technology expansion while serving as Seattle’s Purchasing Director. Melody’s forte is conceptualizing and marketing new initiatives and fostering their acceptance and implementation, as evidenced by her project management role in the City’s nationally recognized “Copernicus” procurement model. Melody received her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Washington in 1972.

A firm believer in “life outside of work”, Melody has always been an avid traveler with a keen interest in other cultures. Whether it was Afghanistan and India in the 1970’s, China in the early 1980’s, numerous jaunts to Europe, or volunteering at Thailand’s Elephant Nature Park, she has always enjoyed the anticipation of the planning, the joy of the moment and the everlasting memories of the people and experiences. Her local paradise is her Bainbridge Island home, shared with husband Michael and cocker Sammi, enhanced by frequent visits from her beautiful daughter Tatiana.

Retirement brought Melody the freedom and time to pursue new ventures in consulting, to return to piano, serious gardening and to seek opportunities to “give back” through volunteer work. The latter became Melody’s introduction to Clear Path and its international mission. After committing extensive time and energy to Clear Path as volunteer Special Projects Coordinator, Melody officially joined the CPI team as SE Asia Program Director in November, 2008, with oversight responsibility for Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia programs.
