Approach

Melia is an Executive Coach who works with senior professionals – predominantly in the Professional and Financial Services sectors – who are navigating periods of transition. Whether stepping into a bigger leadership role, returning from a career break, or considering a shift in direction, her clients often come to coaching at moments when clarity, confidence, and strategic thinking are needed most.


She supports them in making intentional choices, managing complexity, and leading with greater impact. Her coaching helps clients unlock improved focus, stronger leadership presence, more effective communication, and a renewed sense of purpose – both professionally and personally.


As a mother of three, Melia also understands first-hand the challenges that come with balancing a demanding career and family life. This personal experience deepens her empathy for working parents and informs her coaching approach – particularly when supporting clients through transitions such as parental leave, return to work, or redefining success on their own terms.

Melia’s coaching style is highly empathetic, fostering quick trust with clients. She pairs this empathy with a results-driven approach to help them reach their goals. She passionately believes in enabling clients to create meaningful and sustainable change.

Background

Before becoming an Executive Coach, Melia had a career spanning Management Consulting at McKinsey & Company, Strategy and Business Development at Hachette and Kaplan, and Executive Search for Private Equity clients. Having worked in global organisations and lived in Europe, the US and Asia, she has a good insight into different cultures and the challenges of working in multinational teams.


Melia has a BS in Finance, Management, and International Economics from NYU’s Stern Business School, an MBA from INSEAD and is qualified as an Executive Coach with Meyler Campbell. She is an accredited coach with the European Mentorship and Coaching Council and a member of the Institute of Coaching.
