As the CMO of a large Marketing and Sales organization at Suddenlink, there were many moving parts and people. Melissa alway distinguished herself as a person who got the job done. She possesses a curious mind, strong work ethic and...she's just a darn nice person. I would pick Melissa for my team anytime.
