Dr. Melanie S. Walker, 49, who is married to a former Microsoft executive, reportedly helped bring the pedophile financier into the billionaire software mogul's orbit after she was hired by the Gates Foundation, the charity started up by the multibillionaire software mogul. Walker met Epstein in 1992 while she was sightseeing in New York City. It was reported that Epstein approached her at the Plaza Hotel alongside Donald Trump, who at the time owned the landmark property. Walker was hired by the Gates Foundation in 2006, shortly after she moved to Seattle to be with Steven Sinofsky. Sinofky, who eventually rose to become president of Microsoft’s Windows division, introduced Walker to Gates at a company barbecue in the early 2000s, according to Rolling Stone. She also became close to Gates's scientific advisor Boris Nikolic, who later introduced the pedophile finance mogul to Gates.
Walker met Epstein just after she graduated college in 1992. She moved to New York. Her listed address was a Manhattan apartment that Epstein owned, but Walker never lived there. She was at the apartment just a couple of times for quarterly meetings with lawyers in 1999. Walker relocated to Manhattan after Epstein told her he could get her an audition for a modeling job with Victoria's Secret.
After Walker finished medical school in Texas, Epstein hired her as a science adviser in 1998. At the time, Walker was pursuing post-doctoral study at Cal Tech. Walker later met Sinofsky, a senior executive at Microsoft who headed the company's Windows division. She moved to Seattle to be with Sinofsky. Eventually, Walker would join the Gates Foundation as a senior program officer. At the foundation, Walker became friends with Nikolic, who was the organization's science adviser. [2]
