I step in where leadership is stretched thin, operations are slowing growth, and the next level demands a sharper system. Outcome-driven. No fluff. No long ramp.
I've spent the last decade building revenue operations and scaling businesses from the inside, owning P&Ls, designing go-to-market strategies, and standing up the systems that make growth sustainable.
From building innovative ancillary revenue programs generating $8M+ for a $2B+ real estate portfolio to driving $15M in enterprise partnerships with Fortune 500 sponsors, my work sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. I build the playbooks, align the teams, and deliver the numbers.
Melissa Owns It exists because too many mid-market companies hit an inflection point where the CEO can't also be the COO. I bring executive operating capability without the overhead of a full-time hire, focused on outcomes, accountable to metrics, and built for speed.
I work best with mid-market businesses that have real revenue, real complexity, and a leadership team that knows something needs to change but doesn't have the bandwidth to change it.
Post-startup, pre-enterprise. Big enough to have complexity, lean enough to need leverage.
Asset-heavy businesses, multi-market operations, or companies with tangled processes.
The CEO is also playing COO. The team is reactive. There's no capacity for the next level.
Margin pressure, growth stall, operational chaos. You know something's broken.
I am actively seeking to acquire and scale a well-established business. With a background in business strategy, partnerships, and corporate growth, I have spent my career identifying opportunities, unlocking value, and leading strategic initiatives across multiple industries.
My experience spans capital investment, strategic partnerships, and operational transformation, helping businesses scale efficiently and sustainably. I understand what makes a business thrive and how to implement growth strategies that maintain the integrity and culture that made it successful in the first place.
I founded Altuva Capital because I believe business acquisitions should be about more than numbers on a balance sheet. Great businesses deserve a transition that preserves their legacy while unlocking their full potential. I take a different approach: one rooted in continuity, strategic growth, and long-term value creation.
Ensuring that a company's mission, employees, and culture remain strong after acquisition.
Leveraging strategic expertise to scale operations, expand market reach, and increase profitability.
Honoring the work of business owners by strengthening what they've built, not dismantling it.
If you're considering a transition and want a successor who values integrity, long-term impact, and strategic execution, I'd welcome the conversation.
