Alice Meñez

CEO

Alice Meñez is a graduate of the Bachelor of Science in Psychology program at De La Salle University. Editing and publishing is her specialty, but she has also previously worked as a writer. She enjoys reading various written works, from classic literature to short stories and esoteric books.

For a few short years she was in the field of education, teaching kids as well as students with special needs. To this day it influences her to advocate for children's literacy, especially for those who are at a disadvantage, whereas her background in psychology shaped her to be a supporter of mental wellness.

Before building Saturnia Books, she handled the community management of high-traffic brands such as Cherifer and Alaska Milk. Here she learned more about communication between brands and their audience, a skill that continues to serve her well as a publishing consultant.

Saturnia Books is a culmination of her experience in different fields and her chosen path to grow as an individual and give back to the collective.

Xander Wee Gonzales

Strategic Advisor

Xander Wee Gonzales is an author, entrepreneur, and business structure architect. He began his career in writing and later found his way into the field of trading, eventually becoming the former Chief Operating Officer and now the Chief Innovations & Strategy Officer of The 30 Minute Trader, where he helped shape one of the country's most recognized forex education frameworks.

His professional life continued to grow across multiple fields; he serves as the Director at Neu Alt PH and Managing Director at Oh Maria Home Services. Writing, however, remains at the center of his work. He is the author of The Art of Forex series and The Architecture of Startups, books that reflect his long-standing fascination with systems and structure.

His work with Saturnia Books is a natural extension of that fascination. As its Strategic Advisor, he hopes to support the company in becoming a home for unconventional thinkers—an environment where unique, thoughtful, and boundary-pushing ideas can take shape and reach the readers who need them most.
