Über Melissa

Startup Advisor | Go-to-Market, Branding & Growth Strategy | Accelerator Creator & Facilitator

I help startups turn ideas into market-ready businesses—with clear positioning, strong brands, and go-to-market strategies that drive traction.

With 20+ years of experience, I work with founders and innovation programs to move from concept to launch and early growth—combining strategic clarity with hands-on execution.

As a founder and venture catalyst, I’ve coached startups through pre-accelerators and accelerators, developed training programs, and helped entrepreneurs refine their business models, messaging, and customer acquisition strategies. I bring a hands-on approach to building brands that resonate and marketing strategies that deliver measurable results (30%+ revenue growth, 300%+ audience growth).

I also design and lead high-impact events and experiences that elevate visibility, engage communities, and support business development—from intimate founder sessions to large-scale, high-profile events.

How I can help:
• Startup coaching & mentoring (early-stage to growth)
• Brand strategy & positioning
• Go-to-market strategy & execution
• Marketing & communications planning
• Event strategy, production & experiential marketing
• Accelerator / program design & facilitation

Pragmatic, strategic, and execution-focused, I work as a partner to help you move faster, gain clarity, and build something that lasts.
