WHO I AM
Meet Mel
I’m not just a coach - I’m a partner who’s been in your shoes. My mission is to help leaders build thriving careers and fulfilling lives by mastering disruption, maximizing impact, and building a meaningful legacy. Here's why...
As a former Talent Executive with 25 years of experience at Fortune 200 companies, I know firsthand the high-pressure demands of leadership. I loved the fast pace and the opportunity to create meaningful change. But after reaching my dream job and leaving my mark, I found myself asking, What’s next? Then, I was diagnosed with a chronic illness - a turning point that pushed me to rebuild my career and life on my own terms, redefining success around what truly mattered to me.
Now, I help leaders do the same - navigate change with confidence and create success that aligns with their values and priorities. Let’s redefine what’s possible - stop wasting time and energy, get things done faster and live without regrets or burnout.
In her free time, Mel enjoys spending time with her partner Justin, daughter Avery, and dog Reggie. She loves reading, hiking, and traveling.
