Meet Melissa Miller
As an executive coach and consultant, I specialize in helping leaders navigate the complexities of management, leadership, team development, and career transitions with confidence. With over 14 years of experience in the tech industry, including C-suite leadership roles in Operations, Marketing, and Customer Success, I understand firsthand the challenges leaders face—because I’ve been there myself.
I know what it takes to drive strategy, lead teams, and build meaningful relationships across an organization. I partner with new and emerging executives to develop the skills, strategies, and mindset shifts needed to lead effectively. Whether it’s coaching first-time managers, supporting executive teams that lack the bandwidth for mentorship and team building, or guiding professionals through career pivots, I provide practical, results-driven coaching tailored to real-world leadership challenges.
My approach is built on strategic thinking, problem-solving, team building and a deep passion for leadership development. I help clients uncover their strengths, refine their decision-making, and build high-performing teams while maintaining a focus on sustainable growth and lasting impact.
If you’re looking for someone who understands both the big picture and the day-to-day realities of leadership, let’s connect.
Testimonials
Who I Work With
James Desmond
Founder, Perry Avenue
“I’ve been working with Melissa on a weekly basis to accomplish so many things that have made my business run more effectively. She has an amazing talent to help guide someone like myself (who is wearing multiple hats everyday) on how to work ON my business, rather than IN my business.
She’s helped me with planning and executing numerous internal processes and tasks that I often delayed or procrastinated. She has helped with everything from buying back time in my schedule and establishing better work/life balance to establishing my Mission Statement & Company Values. She has also provided a third-party opinion on so many questions/scenarios that I never thought I’d have to think about running a business.
Aside from just being a fantastic human being in general, she’s also become the support system that I needed to be a better person and business owner.”
Yasmin AlBazzaz
Partner, Alcade & Fay
“Working with Melissa has been a transformative experience. She is diligent, organized, and professional, but what has truly set her apart has been her ability to tailor her approach to specifically address my unique challenges. Her encouraging style, combined with a calm and reassuring manner, has helped me to pursue my objectives with great clarity. Melissa’s expertise is exceptional, and I would unequivocally recommend her to anyone seeking expert coaching, whether for leadership development, career advancement, or personal empowerment.”
Amanda Roberts
Partner/Creative Director, Fair Folk
“You know that voice in your head that says you don’t deserve your success? After just a few weeks of working with Melissa, I’m already learning how to shut it down. Her approach to tackling imposter syndrome isn’t just theory – she’s given me practical tools I use daily to catch and challenge my self-doubt. Between her strategic roadmap and real-time exercises, I’m finally seeing progress after years of struggling in this area. Feeling equipped to recognize and tackle these thoughts head-on is a game-changer, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. Huge kudos to Melissa!”
Amanda Murray
Managing Director, Plan 4, Inc.
“Working with Melissa has been incredibly valuable to my growing financial services practice. In every meeting with Melissa, she has provided actionable feedback that has helped me make improvements in time management, team management and business operations. Initiatives that seemed daunting before have been either solved or jump started in a short period of time through her expert coaching and guidance. Melissa is a natural coach and would be an asset to any business or individual.”
Luke Fraser
CEO, Stepwise Innovation
“Melissa’s help was invaluable to our company. She stepped in quickly to help our team professionalize and improve our processes, revamp our marketing strategy, and hire our early team. Her contributions went way beyond the initial ask, and we’d work with her again in a heartbeat!”
Elizabeth Drenning
Director, Managed Service, Resonate
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Melissa Miller over several coaching sessions to refine my leadership approach, particularly in setting clear expectations for my team and developing strategies to enhance efficiency and quality of work. Her insights and tailored methods have had a significant impact, helping me foster a more aligned, productive, and high-performing team.
Melissa doesn’t just offer generic advice— she takes the time to understand specific challenges and provides actionable solutions.
I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking to strengthen their leadership skills and elevate their team’s performance!”
Aubrey Beck
Principal Strategist, Avant Voice
“I worked with Melissa to refine my consulting focus, ensuring my work aligns with my strengths and interests while minimizing tasks that don’t energize me. Through our sessions, I gained clarity on the types of professional environments where I thrive and areas where I could seek mentorship. Her guidance helped me refine my LinkedIn presence and streamline my client selection process, allowing me to focus on engagements that align with my long-term goals.”
Doug Hyde
Owner, Doug Hyde Photography
“I engaged Melissa to develop strategies for building my photography business, particularly in the very competitive wedding space. She reviewed and critiqued my existing marketing and website presence, giving me excellent implementable ideas. She developed a list of actions to take to expand and be more effective with social media. She found me great resources I hadn’t even known about. I was impressed with how thorough she was. I’m pleased to report back that my wedding photo business is up year over year and continuing to grow. Highly recommend!”
Katelin Hatfield
Brand Manager, Murphy's Law Monogramming
“I was thrilled by Melissa’s ability to listen to me ramble about my business — our goals, shortcomings, etc. — and not only truly hear me, but distill my ravings into clear, actionable goals. Working with her has helped me approach my work week in new ways, adding structure and balance to what would often feel overwhelming in the past. Approaching my long term goals with smaller more “bite-sized” items in the short term has helped change my mindset and feel more accomplished on the day to day.“
Kirstie Jiongco
Senior Account Director, Acast
“Melissa has been an instrumental professional resource to me. Through regular check-ins and tailored, actionable steps, she’s provided me with valuable expertise to both navigate my current workplace dynamics and also to work smarter in my job search.”

Thanks to her guidance, I walked into every interview feeling fully prepared and ready to showcase my strengths. Her insights helped me not only improve my presentation but also truly understand and articulate the value I bring to the table. “
Emily Mills

Melissa’s professional yet relaxed demeanor made the entire process both effortless and enjoyable. In just one hour, my confidence increased, leaving me fully prepared for my high-stakes interview.
