Melissa is a chartered occupational psychologist whose career spans consultancy, education and
leadership development. She is particularly interested in the way organisations select and retain talent
and how they develop leadership capability.

She also has extensive experience of using psychometrics with individuals and teams, and has conducted
research on the difference and diversity of personality types within organisations.

Melissa is currently completing her PhD looking at women’s relationships with other women in work,
particularly how they collaborate and compete with each other in the workplace.
