What our clients say
"Working with Melissa as our fractional Chief Experience Officer delivered multiple benefits. She created focus, accountability and established a sustainable engine for continued growth."– Auriga Martin, CEO Farm Focus
"The difference in the product managers has been night and day. Everyone has noticed. They're thinking strategically about what they're doing and why, the comparative value of choices, and the effort and cost to deliver. Freaking amazing!"– Kym Niblock, former CPIO TVNZ
"Melissa demonstrated exceptional leadership abilities ... untangling organisational complexities and bringing teams together. She crafted an outstanding product vision and strategy, one that resonated ... instilling confidence and garnering unanimous buy-in."– Alan Vieira, VP Engineering, FileInvite
"[The AI Activation Workshop] was a standout session for the BraveGen team. The focus on fundamentals - how LLMs work, good prompting, and trust and security - made a real difference. Watching the team build their own agents (and challenge assumptions along the way) was a great signal of what’s possible when you create space to learn. Early signs are already promising. Thanks again, Melissa, for the insight, energy, and practical approach."– Jeremy Allen, Founder & CPO, BraveGen
