WHO I AM
Meet Mel
With 25 years as a senior HR and Talent Executive in Fortune 200 companies, I know what it’s like to lead through high-stakes change. I’ve coached and advised hundreds of leaders navigating career-defining moments. I created Breakthrough Coaching to bring that same level of strategic partnership and human support to leaders ready for what’s next.
I'm a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and a contributor to Forbes Coaches Council. But most importantly, I’m a coach who believes leadership can be both powerful and personal, and that you don’t have to choose between ambition and alignment.
