About Melissa Gonsenheim Garcia
Hi! I am a bi-cultural, creative, business development professional who excels in dynamic, collaborative, cross-cultural environments. I always joke that I thrive in places where English is spoken as a second language and I need to translate for someone. I have over 15 years of experience in B2B and B2C sales and strategy in various sectors, but most notably in the technology and hospitality space with a passion for all things luxury and client retention/development. I have also worked in employer branding, government and non for profit sectors in the USA and Western Europe as I acquired an MBA in Luxury Strategy from SDA Bocconi in Milan, Italy. I am extremely results and data driven but excel in relationship and stakeholder management, as I truly believe there needs to be a personal aspect to any business transaction for it to stick, last and provide ongoing value. I am constantly seeking to improve my communication and relationship management skills both personally and professionally. Outside of work I am a true philomath, foodie/wino, avid reader, love animals, a hyper traveler, as well as a stauch advocate for DEI, particularly the LGBTQIA+ community. You\'ll find me always speaking about the latest restaurant opening or something cross-cultural and/or related to psychology and holistic wellness.
