Melanie draws on 30 years of C-level Human Resources, executive coaching, and consulting experience working across a broad range of industries primarily technology startups.
Melanie began working in the veterinary industry in 2015 as Chief People Officer at Wagly, where she recognized a critical need in leadership development for veterinarians. While highly skilled in clinical care, many veterinarians need development in how to lead teams, manage conflict, and drive organizational success. She also observed that one of the biggest challenges veterinarians faced was navigating constant change, whether adapting to evolving client expectations, integrating new technologies, or managing shifting workplace dynamics. Drawing on her extensive experience in fast-paced technology environments, Melanie is passionate about helping veterinary professionals develop entrepreneurial skills to strengthen their business acumen while also building resilience in themselves and their teams.
