"It's an honor to join the Forbes Business Council and stand alongside leaders who understand that business isn't just about scale, it's about purpose," said Malveaux. "I've always believed that perspective is one of the most undervalued assets in leadership. Growing up in the South Bronx shaped mine early, where discomfort became fuel, and adversity became leverage through discipline and vision. That mindset has guided me from Wall Street to international boardrooms to building companies with global impact. I look forward to contributing to a community that values perspective, builds across borders, and leads with intention."

Malveaux is an internationally recognized investor, advisor, and entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience spanning the U.S., Japan, Asia, and Europe. He has structured more than $100 billion in global transactions and co-founded several leading companies, including Grand Alliance, Grands Boulevards, DESAVO, and ALTO USA. He also serves as an Ambassador to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and advisor to Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, one of the few non-Japanese leaders appointed to such a post.
