Bio
Regina Milliot
Melissa Diaz is the ultimate professional. I have known Melissa for about 7 years. We have been competitors, worked together for the same company, and also had the privilege to manage her. What is unique about Melissa is her consistent drive, tenacity and the ability to overcome obstacles. Nothing gets in her way. Even in the most challenging situations she always finds a solution that is good for everyone. Out of the box thinker for sure! From a business development standpoint, she is a genius at penetrating those most difficult accounts or clients, where others had tried for years and didn't have any outcome. Even if the outcome wasn't favorable she still obtained an answer from the prospect/client and there was no longer a mystery of what if. She builds lasting relationships with everyone she comes across personal or professional. If you have the opportunity to work with Melissa Diaz as a business partner, colleague or client you will never be let down. She has conviction in everything she does and that is what makes her so dependable, loyal, and a true professional.
