Melissa Paauwe
Client Development Leader, Retail
I lead all prospective client communication for the Retail Practice, ensuring that processes, time and action calendars, and communications are managed with attention to detail and a positive attitude.
I serve as the liaison between prospective clients and our internal teams during the RFP process, helping to initiate new projects. I build strong relationships with both internal teams and client teams, and I lead all communication with clients to foster these relationships while managing project schedules and deliverables.
