About Melissa Richeson
Forever curious, I\'ve built my career around cross-functional leadership and a fascination in how business partners with differing expertise and backgrounds all come together to create growth, profitability and seamless customer experience for their companies. I excel at putting structure around high level problems and identifying the skill sets needed to bring it to life. Having worked in consulting, banking, tech, and consumer services for both established and startup firms, I\'ve seen it all. What works and what doesn\'t, what makes some teams successful and others not, and the critical importance of matching leadership skillsets to the moment. At Nexus, I\'m bringing this on-the-ground experience to helping my clients build the teams that drive performance for their companies.
Experience
Partner, Head of Research
Jan 2023 — Present · Charlotte, NC, US
As a dedicated group of industry veterans, we built Nexus Search Partners to be more than just another executive search firm. At Nexus, it’s our mission to connect clients with executive leaders who can help accelerate their company’s growth. We believe that by leveraging our vast network of diverse leaders with intentional focus we can introduce key talent to organizations. Through in-depth research and personalized recommendations, we eliminate cookie-cutter playbooks with the same candidate list and unnecessary procedures. This new approach to executive recruiting is rooted in diversity and inclusion, and helps clients like you to build ideal leadership teams.
