“One of the most surprising ideas that arises from complexity is that in a complex system, the thing that makes the biggest difference is the number and nature of connections among individuals rather than the excellence of any particular individual.”

We have the experience and the passion
With more than 25 years of global experience in human resources across multiple industries and geographies, it continues to bring me joy and fulfillment to help businesses and their leaders scale and succeed through strategic HR practices.
Prior to founding Flourish, I was Chief People Officer at a global biotech company and HR executive at Expedia. In addition to being the BoD chairperson and Compensation Committee chair for a life sciences company, I am a lecturer at Boston College. I am also an Insights and Leadership Circle Coach and have a Master’s Degree in Coaching and Consulting for Change from INSEAD.
I believe that intentional investment in the ways we work with one another can positively impact people’s lives. I know how important our work is and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Melissa has helped transform the way my executive team operates over the past two years. I can’t imagine a better partner to work with in building trust, increasing candor, and ultimately driving company performance.

Chief Executive Officer, Tech
Utilizing 12 years of experience as an HR Business Partner, leader in many dynamic environments, and a Master’s Degree in Business from Boston College, I bring innovative solutions and expertise to help people, cultures and organizations scale and flourish.
Prior to joining Flourish, I was a member of the HR leadership team of a large biotech company for over seven years. During my tenure, I led many HR initiatives across the organization, including organizational health, change management, employee relations, and organizational planning and design.
My approach balances listening to understand the perspective and context with action-oriented and creative solutions. I am passionate about working with leaders and teams who are invested in learning and growth.
