Melissa George
Co-founder
People-first change, practical operations, outcomes that last.
I work with leaders and teams to turn security and compliance into practical habits, not extra admin.
Experience
20+ years
Focus
Transformation + operations
Location
Leeds, UK
My background is in operations leadership, agile coaching, and business transformation. I help organisations improve how they work so security becomes part of delivery, not a bolt-on at the end.
I've led operational change in fast-moving businesses, including quality and security certification programmes, and I focus on making improvements that teams can sustain when the project is over.
I care about clear communication, realistic plans, and keeping change human. No theatre, no jargon marathon, just better outcomes.
