Melissa is usually known as the face — and megaphone! — of SCGC.

She grew up near Miami and spent a few years in the Caribbean and South America. After her undergraduate studies at Concordia University, she spent 18 months in a volunteering program in Belgium. Upon her return, she worked within the Real Estate Private Equity group of CDP, a $300b sovereign investment fund.

Melissa paused her career for some time to be home with her young children, during which time she launched a plant-based food blog, still active today with 50,000 followers.

When she has a minute to herself, she can usually be found training for a triathlon somewhere in the Bay Area.

After completing his degree in Finance, Will started his career at a public investment firm, where he analyzed the performance of equity and fixed income portfolios. He subsequently switched to consulting, during which time he supported financial services, industrials, and transportation clients on strategy, operational improvement, M&A, and international expansion.

Will then co-founded a health & fitness startup, where he learned the basics of engineering and product management. He ultimately shut down the venture, but it instilled in him a deep passion for technology. After interviewing with a few VC firms and startups, he decided to pursue what had been, up to that point, a side passion: recruiting. SCGC was born.

Will lived in Canada and in Europe, and currently resides in the Bay Area with his wife and children. When not stalking LinkedIn profiles or helplessly trying to put his kids to bed, you can find him on his road bike or trail running. Hit him up if you’d like to go for a run or a ride!
