About Mel Passarelli
With a proven track record of driving transformational growth and scaling software companies, I have led seven corporate turnarounds—most notably at Attunity, where I guided the company from near-bankruptcy to a NASDAQ listing and its $563 million acquisition.Today, I serve as a board member and strategic advisor to venture-backed and growth-stage companies, and participate as a venture capital limited partner, operating at the intersection of governance, capital strategy, and execution.My focus is helping boards, founders, and executive teams avoid the strategic, operational, and financial pitfalls I have navigated firsthand — and accelerating their path to sustainable growth, enterprise value creation, and disciplined execution.
