"Melanie is a different kind of HR leader.  She isn't afraid to get into the trenches and understand the day-to-day impact of processes and policies on the front line worker, and to advocate both for them and the business.  She has been a trusted partner on all matters of human resources, from recruiting to policies to payroll and compensation to employee relations.    She's unbelievably creative when it comes to finding plans and solutions that both prioritize the employees' wellbeing and meet business objectives.  She's also a trusted sounding board for any managerial and leadership challenges, which is important to me in a functional leadership role.  It may not be part of her defined job description, but Melanie also takes it upon herself to mentor and coach mid-level managers, which is so critically needed when they are taking on additional responsibilities or growing their teams.  I've seen managers drive radically different results post working with Melanie on their leadership tactics, and it's a rare breed that takes the time to truly invest in developing people the way that she does. Her plans, strategies and most importantly, people development are truly a driver of employee happiness and company results."

"I've had the privilege of working with Melanie Marfoglio, VP of Human Resources & Workforce Development at Renovo Home Partners, for over six years—initially as her direct report and now as a colleague. Melanie possesses a rare blend of strategic insight and organizational acumen. She has an unparalleled ability to view an organization from both micro and macro perspectives, restructuring teams and processes to not only foster individual growth but also drive profitability and operational efficiency. Melanie’s approach is refreshingly practical. She implements real-world programs that have significantly boosted employee morale and retention while simultaneously reducing shrinkage and maximizing profitability. Her insights aren’t confined to theory; they are actionable strategies that have made a lasting impact on the organization. One of Melanie’s true strengths is her role as an informal executive coach. Whether she’s working with Directors or the C-suite, she has a remarkable ability to understand what drives each person, where their challenges lie, and how to help them become more effective contributors to the organization. Personally, Melanie has invested deeply in my growth, helping me identify and address skill gaps and leadership challenges. Her mentorship has made me a more well-rounded, objective, and thoughtful leader. Today, I am fortunate to call Melanie not only a colleague and mentor but also a trusted friend. Her impact on me and on Renovo is profound, and I would be happy to elaborate on her contributions to our team and leadership anytime. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about the positive changes she has driven in our organization."​

Melanie was not only able to create a complete 3-years strategic plan design for the rapid growth of our company, but she was also able to “roll her sleeves” and work on the implementation of that plan with great level of detail. She also has a great capacity of analysis of any complex situation. Always honest and true to her truth and, at the same time, with a deep sense of care and compassion for everyone.”
