As the company has grown she has taken on an increasing amount of responsibility, including the management of several proposal team members and the oversight of billions in dollars of bids per year. She handles herself with grace and poise in even the most challenging work situations, and focuses on finding solutions to problems versus lamenting about them. She is constantly looking for ways to improve, both professionally and personally, and I have complete faith in her ability to lead a high-producing team. I consider myself lucky to have had the pleasure to work with Melanie, and look forward to the new contributions she will make to the company.---Rishma Mangat, Director Marketing & Communications - EllisDon Corporation
