WHO WE ARE
Melissa Reishus Melissa's vision for The Sea Glass Group was inspired first and foremost by a family member who acquired mobility impairment as the result of a chronic illness which struck early in his professional career. As a volunteer at one of the nations leading physical rehabilitation institutes, she was further inspired by the many established professionals and college students she has met as patients. Prior to founding The Sea Glass Group, Melissa had a lengthy and successful career at IBM that spanned positions in marketing, consulting services and channels development. As a Business Development Manager she was responsible for identifying, recruiting, and developing premier Business Partners in global markets for both IBM's services and software organizations. This extensive experience contributes to her ability and insight to identify and recruit top talent for corporate and professional placement. Through her personal experiences she has found that professionals who live with a disability, intuitively have stronger problem solving skills and come to their field better prepared for the toughest of challenges. It is her strong desire that through The Sea Glass Group, these individuals can and will compete among the strongest of candidates for leadership positions in corporate America. Melissa holds a B.A. in Journalism from The Ohio State University. |
