Meet Melissa McGinty
Founder and CEO
After spending over two decades leading complex global operations —managing 400-person teams across nine countries, handling crises like global production disruptions due to war, landing $5B+ construction projects, and delivering billions in business impact—I kept seeing the same pattern: brilliant technical leaders struggling with operational chaos as they scaled. I realized that most growing businesses don't need another consultant telling them what's wrong—they need an embedded operator who can actually fix it. I started Elevare because I know the specific pain of watching talented teams waste energy on the wrong things, and I have the proven ability to bring the clarity and momentum that turns chaos into sustainable growth. I'm not just selling operational expertise; I'm offering founders the gift of getting back to what they do best while knowing their company is running like the machine it should be.

“In tough situations like the ones we have gone through, Mel brings an even sense of tenacity balanced with practicality. People respond to her, and when she sees a gap, she fills it. She is a natural leader in these situations and is unconstrained by organization or other boundaries. I have seen a significant improvement in staff resolving conflicts between members, and I know Mel plays a huge role in the background to draw out differences and concerns among staff. She provides excellent counsel and guidance to me as we move our team forward. What I appreciate about Mel is her steady approach to leadership. While she recognizes and does not ignore issues, she calmly helps the team understand problems, listens to everyone, and knows when to address a problem versus listen/push back when appropriate.”
