Community Director & Digital Workplace Specialist, Valtech

"Melisa is one of those rarities in HR that understands if other functions feel their needs are being met as an individual first, they ultimately feel more committed to the team and the vision. I’ve had the luck to work with great HR leaders including Melisa, but she takes exceptional pride in fighting for the team to put them in a position to feel supported, and thus more successful in their role. Whether that’s through individual benefits or something as simple as being heard, she does it all. She is professional, trustworthy, and has no problem wearing many hats (necessary in a startup, or growth mode business). A true pleasure to work with!"

"Her passion for DE&I is palpable and it's clear she cares deeply. Through her extensive knowledge, we have been able to create significant impact programmes across NA, such as the transition back to work programme, disrupting bias within performance reviews, a regular D&I comms calendar full of events and more.

Through her data-driven approach, we are able to be clear on what we're focusing on and what our goals are. She is a true asset to the team and it is a privilege working with her."
