Bio
Zoë Maliszewski
Few people have the opportunity to report to a manger who is also a coach and mentor - but I did when I worked for Melissa. I am honored to have learned from such a brilliant and gifted professional who knows how to exceed expectations and provide results. Melissas ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. I had the pleasure of working for Melissa for nearly four years at Emerald Expositions and the breadth of knowledge I learned from her experience is priceless. No matter how stressful things got, Melissa always made sure everyone had a smile on their face and felt motivated. By far the best boss and mentor I have had in my entire career- thank you, Melissa!

Melissa's breadth of knowledge in event management and her skill in client relations is exceptional. She has a natural ability to build trusted relationships with her customers, staff and vendors. Among her many qualities, which I witnessed as a colleague for 10+ years is her integrity, flexibility, big picture thinking, positive/proactive leadership, and salesmanship. She is collaborative, driven, and has an iron work ethic . It is a privilege to recommend her!
