Her Story
About Melissa
I started as a journalism major at Emerson College with dreams of being a broadcast journalist but pivoted to PR. I spent 15 years in PR agencies working with tech clients like Dell and Microsoft, then moved in-house at Dell for 4 years and Qualys for a year before joining Sumo Logic 11 years ago to build their communications function from startup through IPO. My role has grown into corporate marketing owning PR, social, brand, content and customer marketing, and I am passionate about storytelling that drives business impact while continuously learning and mentoring others.
