Melanie Brook started her professional life producing events and has now worked with creative teams for almost a decade. Though the majority of her career has been in creative project management, in recent years she shifted her focus to building the creative operations function within her teams. Her most recent teams have been in-house at Kiva (nonprofit), Intercom, and now LegalZoom. She loves creative ops because it holds endless opportunities to leave people and organizations better than you found them. Melanie lives in Portland, Oregon with her high school sweetheart and two young kids (ages 1 & 3).
