Melani is a senior recruitment professional with over 20 years’ experience working in the construction and real estate industry. After many years in a recruitment agency environment as well as working inhouse for one of London’s largest construction consultancies, she established her own business in 2016 providing recruitment expertise for consulting clients within the cost and project management sectors both in London and on an international scale, utilising her professional network in Australia having helped manage a recruitment business there where she previously lived for almost 10 years.
In 2022, Melani sought to diversify her skills and moved back inhouse to join MGAC, one of her global clients at the time, as Director of Talent. This role enables her to enjoy a broad scope of responsibility, heading up the People division within the UK, and diversifying into HR at a strategic level to complement her recruitment background.
Guiding people in their career and assisting them to navigate their professional path is at the heart of Melani’s profession. Her network in the construction consulting market within London is extensive and her success relies on working with integrity at all times. Having previously run her own successful business and now acting as a key strategic partner to the executive leadership team within her current company, Melani can offer great knowledge around building connections, networking, personal branding and how to put yourself out there. Melani is a working mum to 2 young daughters and feels passionately about diversity and setting women up for success in their careers. She has trained and mentored many junior professionals in the past and takes pleasure in seeing individuals thrive and flourish in the right environment.
Melani is excited to be a part of Mentoring Circle and proud to be involved with such an inspired initiative in an industry she loves.
