Through M&A.
What I Bring to the Table
M&A Gap™
Find the gaps before the deal does.
Most M&A deals don't fail because of the numbers. They fail because of the people.
Leadership gaps, culture clashes, and unclear structure surface after the deal closes, when they're hardest and most expensive to fix. The HR MRI catches them before that happens.
HR MRI
A focused assessment of the people, leadership, and organizational issues that could limit your next stage of growth.
In one session, you'll get a clear picture of where your organization is strong, where it's exposed, and what needs to be addressed before you scale, merge, or acquire.

M&A Build™
Bringing the companies together, not just the balance sheets.
A merger or acquisition creates more than a change in ownership. It creates a new organizational reality that has to work.
M&A Build™ provides the strategic support to bring the critical pieces of that new reality into alignment, including people, teams, cultures, structures, benefits, and systems. We identify disconnects, address organizational friction, and create the clarity and cohesion needed for the business to operate effectively through transition and into its next phase of growth.
The result is an organization that is aligned, integrated, and positioned to scale with greater strength and less friction.

From challenges creating friction to leadership gaps, I’ve seen how deeply People Ops can impact an organization.

Beyond M&A
Mel is far more than a people leader. She’s a strategic business partner.
Mel has a rare ability to understand a founder’s vision, see the full picture of the business, and develop a people strategy that enables the execution of the company's vision. She built and refined the recruiting and people development systems that supported our growth, M&A, and post-acquisition integration plans. Just as important, Mel built strong relationships across the company that enabled us to understand and address people issues and opportunities in real time. Mel is far more than a people leader. She is a strategic business partner.
