Introducing The Melrose Corporation Senior Executive Team
As we move forward into 2019 and beyond, we as a company are proud to announce a significant change that concerns the core strength of The Melrose Management Partnership/Melrose Lifestyle Services companies. Key individual leaders within these two entities have been tapped to create a Senior Executive Team. These leaders bring significant knowledge, history and a unique perspective in varying areas of expertise.
Our company was founded on solid principles of hard work, integrity and customer service, and the members of the Senior Executive Team, exemplify these values. Our initial Executive Team members, Michelle Bibeau, Mellita Kennedy, and Will Powers will meet with President Jack Hanson on a regular basis to discuss strategy and the policies that affect each of these firms as a whole.
Please join us in welcoming the members of our Senior Executive Team. It is our hope that the team continues to grow with new members each bringing unique and special qualities to the table.
