Bio
Aaron Ziff
I've known Melissa for over a decade. When we met, she was a fiercely insightful Talent Management leader and she has now launched a service where her tremendous experience and vision can be applied to new leaders to ensure a successful launch. Have you ever bought insurance or, say, hired a personal trainer? This is no different. An absolute no-brainer for any company (or individual) that cares about enabling successful transitions. Call her now. Thank me later.

I worked with Melissa over the course of her 12 year tenure at McGraw Hill. Melissa was dedicated to providing accessible learning opportunities, coaching, and practical applications for how to take employees’ skillset to the next level. She was a game changer for me and my career path, and for many across all BUs at McGraw Hill. From the Catalyst leadership program to the various zoom webinars and Teams chats during the pandemic, Melissa demonstrated a true talent for bringing people together and encouraging all of us to maximize our potential. Her tireless work has had a lasting impact on me! In addition to her work, Melissa is an accessible and genuine leader. Even in times of uncertainty, she had a smile on her face and a warm approach, while keeping it real. Her authenticity was appreciated, and is a model for success.
