About Melissa
As an M&A Operations Specialist at Sequoia Financial Group, Melissa is the glue that keeps high-impact mergers and acquisitions running smoothly. With a talent for project management, seamless cross-department collaboration, and executive-level support, Melissa ensures that M&A, Marketing, and Integration teams stay aligned and on track. As the bridge between acquisition targets and internal stakeholders, a natural problem-solver with strong attention to detail, Melissa helps drive strategic growth while keeping all the moving parts in sync.
Up Close
Based in London, OH, Melissa shares a home with her husband, Randy, and a small zoo: two dogs and two cats (because why have just one of each?). They have four amazing adult daughters, busy with work and school. When not coordinating executive travel or planning acquisition celebrations, Melissa can be found behind a camera capturing life’s moments, diving into personal training and nutrition, or enjoying the best of both worlds—organization and adventure.
