Melanie is a distinguished leader with a 30-year Royal Navy career as a trailblazer and change catalyst in people strategy and capability. She was the first woman to command a Royal Navy Warship and, as Commander Maritime Reserves, the first woman to command a ‘fighting arm’ in support of the Fleet.
