Hi there, LinkedIn viewer! My name is Melissa, and I'm a business consultant. I love what I do.One of the best feelings in my line of work is seeing that sense of relief cross a client's face when we've found and implemented the right solution for them. Whether it be helping them to sell their business, refinance, or plan for change - I love getting to know my clients, understanding their business, helping them figure out what their best next move is, and then finding the most effective way to get it done.In my current role of Executive Vice President at Igloo Capital, I take advantage of my past experiences and business sense to find the right solutions for clients and their businesses. With 20+ years of experience in marketing, business operations, and management, I pride myself in bringing a wealth of knowledge and understanding to clients. I began my career with a national appraisal and valuation firm, and later fine-tuned my skills by running a privately-held wholesale company and managing a multimillion dollar marketing budget for one of Alberta’s largest travel agencies. Through these roles, I've developed expertise in negotiations, analytics, and planning to achieve desired outcomes. I bring creativity and forward thinking to all aspects of my life, which consistently lead to new and effective solutions.I grew up in Saskatchewan, and moved to Edmonton in 2000 to begin my career. In my free time, I love to travel, scuba dive, read, and spend time with my husband and our English Bulldog, Vita.
