Hello, I’m Melissa, a product leader with a business development foundation, so I treat every roadmap choice like a business case. Over the last five years in B2B, spanning HR tech, ad-tech, and fleet management tech, I’ve turned messy signals into clear product stories that drive measurable outcomes. I’m focused on how AI complements product work, not replaces it: rapid prototyping, human-in-the-loop workflows, and explainable recommendations that non-experts can trust. My goal is to make AI accessible to teams and customers so we ship valuable features faster and prove impact. I build with users at the center and bring strong commercial instincts to prioritization, pricing, and go-to-market—while championing equity through inclusive research and bias-aware design.
