Melissa Bonner, a distinguished HR veteran and co-founder of Perivallo Partners, Inc., brings over 15 years of diverse Human Resources expertise to her role, bolstered by a solid tenure in the banking industry. Melissa's professional journey has seen her successfully establish and nurture HR departments from the ground up. Her most recent position as Chief Human Resources Officer at a Las Vegas tech financial infrastructure company underscored her ability to lead, develop, and coordinate HR policies, steer people management, uphold legal compliance, and drive the organization’s mission and overall business plan.
