Meet Our Founder: Meg Nelbach, PHR, SHRM-CP

MEL Growth Consulting was founded on a simple truth: growing a business is hard, but with the right people, culture, and strategy, it becomes a whole lot easier.

After years of building and leading People & Culture teams in environments ranging from scrappy startups to global enterprises, Meg saw a clear pattern. Businesses at every stage face similar challenges: scaling too fast without the right support, burning out internal teams, and missing the chance to build something truly sustainable. Meg has been the HR team of one. She has led global departments. In every role, Meg found herself asking the same question: What if HR wasn’t just reactive, but the reason a company succeeds?

That question sparked the creation of MEL Growth Consulting, a firm built to meet companies where they are, with flexible, high-impact HR support that grows with them. MEL Growth Consulting offers more than services; we offer partnership, clarity, and momentum. Whether it’s a project, a fractional engagement, or just a few hours of guidance, MEL Growth Consulting helps businesses modernize their people strategies, elevate their operations, and lead with purpose.

Great companies are not built overnight. They are built intentionally, with the right people by your side.
