About Melanie
I’ve spent over two decades in rooms where precision matters and mistakes cost real money. Fortune 500 C-suites, fractional COO engagements, and high-stakes operations across industries.
Some clients need a senior operator for one defined project. Others need a fractional executive partner for the long haul. Either way, I bring the same disciplined approach: anticipate the risk, build the system, and deliver the outcome.
My Master’s in Business and Organizational Security Management means I don’t just execute tasks. I think in systems. I see where exposure lives and where things quietly break down. I protect your time and your operation, because both are valuable assets.
Recent and current engagements span HealthTech, neurotechnology, emerging tech, consumer brands, media, private equity-backed manufacturing, online and higher education, business coaching, social media, and crypto.
What I Offer
I take a limited number of engagements at any time. Every project gets my full focus, built on twenty years of high-stakes executive support.
A productized engagement. I audit how your team actually spends time, then build the AI workflows, prompt libraries, custom skills, and tool integrations that give that time back. Walkthrough and reference materials included.
A defined project engagement. I step in, assess your operational gaps, and execute a specific deliverable. Multi-vendor offsite coordination, complex international travel programs, team onboarding, process documentation. You name the problem. I scope the work and deliver.
A long-term embedded partnership. Calendar ownership, inbox triage, travel coordination, vendor management, team coordination, project oversight. You stay focused on leadership. I run the operations underneath it.
Client Feedback
Mel stepped into a complex multi-vendor offsite for our leadership team and executed flawlessly. She anticipated logistical issues days before they would have surfaced and resolved them quietly. That level of foresight is rare.
Within the first week, Mel reorganized our travel operations and built an AI workflow that gives my team back several hours every week. I do not know how we operated without this level of support.
Work With Me
I review every inquiry within one business day. If it’s a fit, we’ll schedule a thirty-minute scoping call.
