Across her career she has championed the leadership and stories of others, work that continues at Sego, where she is focused on changing the narrative of what it means to be a woman in business.

Melanie brings more than 25 years of leadership experience. She served as the award-winning editor-in-chief of Utah Business and held leadership roles at Ultradent Products and Younique. A skilled interviewer and storyteller, she has hosted fireside chats and podcast conversations with business leaders including Jason Feifer, Jacki Zehner, and Aaron Skonnard, and has served as a curator and speaking coach for TEDxSaltLakeCity.

Outside of work, Melanie started and ran a community produce co-op for six years. She loves reading books from around the world and traveling with her husband and four children, and credits both the travel and the co-op for making her kids the least picky eaters she has ever met.
