Colleagues describe her as "I hired Melissa into the Global Compliance Group at Fitch and relied on her to restructure and upgrade the Global Personal Conflicts Monitoring function. She did an amazing job. She didn’t have experience in the credit ratings business and quickly assessed the firm’s needs and gained the respect of employees throughout the firm from executives to junior staff. She is an outstanding leader and implementer, too. She hired and trained new staff. She updated policies and procedures and oversaw the successful implementation of a new system. None of this was easy at an organization that was newly regulated. She focuses on relevant matters and resolves issues promptly. Using her knowledge she successfully navigates new terrain and maintains a positive outlook. Melissa is a pleasure to work with and made my work life easier." and "Melissa is a dedicated leader with strong technical skills in essential areas of compliance. During a difficult transition for our compliance function, much was asked of Melissa and her team and they quickly earned my trust and respect. Melissa’s experience and perspective led to the creation of sound policy and reporting, as well as a very balanced and effective approach."
