About Melissa Yusko

I am a passionate business executive with experience in a wide range of industry segments and sizes. Over the years, I have gained a deep appreciation of the value of building relationships and providing the tools to drive sustainable results across an organization. My personal strengths include integrity, tenacity, communication skills, analytical thinking, collaboration, and a dedication to continued learning. My experience includes over 15 years of Internal Audit experience where I have advised on large system implementations, led SOX compliance testing, performed a variety of operational audits, including cybersecurity, third parties, ethics, etc. I believe in giving back, and so over the years have looked for ways to share my talents by being involved in a variety of organizations, including Marietta College\'s Alumni Advisory Council, Institute of Internal Auditors Central Ohio Chapter Board, and the Central Community House Finance Committee.
