Hi, I’m Melissa Garzony, the founder of Addi Mae Consulting. With over two decades of experience in Human Resources, HRIS Software Implementation, Project Management, and Operations Management, I realized that my passion lay in helping businesses work smarter, not harder. After years of commuting, long hours, and missed family moments, I took the leap to follow my passion for organizational efficiency and strategic planning.
With over two decades of experience across various industries—including healthcare, financial services, and legal firms—I bring a wealth of knowledge in project management, human resources, and operations management. As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and Professional in Human Resources (PHR), I am dedicated to delivering excellence in every client engagement.
This globally recognized credential signifies my ability to lead projects across diverse industries. Awarded by the Project Management Institute (PMI)—the world’s leading authority on project management—this certification is considered the gold standard and is respected by organizations worldwide. It validates my skills in planning, executing, and managing complex projects, ensuring they are completed on time, within scope, and on budget.
The PHR certification demonstrates my technical and operational expertise in human resources management, including a comprehensive understanding of U.S. laws and regulations. This credential focuses on the operational aspects of HR, ensuring that I bring a strategic, knowledgeable approach to managing talent, fostering a positive work culture, and aligning HR practices with business goals.
I have extensive experience in operations management and leadership, having partnered with founders and executives to develop and execute business plans that set benchmarks for both short-and long-term success. My approach includes leading performance evaluations and operational efficiency initiatives, implementing strategic improvements that align with organizational goals, and managing day-to-day operations and policy formulation. These efforts have directly contributed to enhancing profitability through careful financial analysis and budget adjustments.
My expertise extends to project and change management, where I have collaborated with executive sponsors to plan and execute a wide range of projects. I am skilled in defining objectives, requirements, and logistics, and consulting with stakeholders to develop comprehensive project schedules. I have successfully managed cross-functional teams and facilitated IT collaboration to deliver on complex project goals. Notably, I have driven successful mergers and spinoffs that resulted in substantial revenue growth and developed standardized procedures for future mergers, demonstrating my ability to manage change effectively and strategically.
I have a natural ability to assess an organization’s needs and provide valuable insights and recommendations that optimize operations, improve process efficiency, and identify growth opportunities. My clients benefit from tailored strategies that align with their unique business needs, helping them navigate challenges, seize new opportunities, and achieve their objectives. My commitment to understanding each client's vision ensures that every engagement is focused on delivering tangible, sustainable results.
My approach is hands-on and collaborative. I work closely with my clients to understand their specific challenges and craft solutions that drive measurable results. I believe that every business has the potential to succeed with the right strategy and support. My goal is to help you build a business that is not just successful but also sustainable and enjoyable to manage.
Outside of consulting, I enjoy spending time with my family, organizing (yes, it's a passion!), and exploring new ways to streamline everything—from daily routines to business processes.
