Amy Lee Kincaid
I have had the pleasure to work alongside Melissa whilst at Wayfair as both a colleague and her manager. I can confidently say that she is a Human Resource business partner that understands end to end the employee lifecycle. Melissa not only utilized her collaborative style to align people initiatives to business results across multiple facilities and stakeholders with Supply Chain, she utilized her style to engage with cross functional global partner teams such as the HRIS, Payroll, Legal etc. to drive strategic initiatives. She supported the Talent team by owning our PMO and developing/designing the structure for us to effectively manage both our strategic remits and business as usual throughout Supply Chain. Melissa has a unique ability to juggle multiple remits/tasks while maintaining the highest quality work. Her HR insight and work ethic are unparalleled, and she consistently met the challenges of change with speed at Wayfair. Moreover, Melissa has a remarkable way of leading and developing her team. Melissa attracted experienced and non-experienced talent throughout her tenure at Wayfair. She leaned into the experienced talent to ensure that she understood their personal career needs. Upon understanding, she aligned engaging initiatives to them so that they continued to develop. For the non-experienced, she coached, counseled, and educated them on every process with kindness and grace. The processes that she ensured understanding on were varied from performance management to employee relations. The ability to share a knowledge base that wide is remarkable. I whole heartedly recommend Melissa as a cross functional business partner, leader and friend.
