Melissa Dunn

Mel specialises in establishing sustainable behavioural change that enhances working relationships and employee engagement. 

She has led significant culture change initiatives including diagnostic, roadmap creation and interventions, as well as designing and delivering learning modules. She has been involved in developing thought leadership around nurturing culture, connective organisations, mental wellbeing and psychological safety, speaking on several panels about these topics. Mel is a ‘graduate’ of The Physical Intelligence Institute, weaving elements of this into her work. 

Mel has a wealth of experience planning and hosting corporate events from intimate roundtables with business leaders, medium-sized team building sessions, through to international webinars and multi-day conferences for several hundred attendees (with a festival ‘thrown into the mix’!). Alongside this, she regularly facilitates client meetings and workshops building trust and credibility to drive positive outcomes including establishing priorities and accountabilities. 

She is adept at stakeholder engagement and communications, advising on best practices, co-ordinating and producing high-profile deliverables to support transformation programmes. She has also overseen multiple systems implementations including HR, Finance and Marketing/CRM.  

Mel’s projects have spanned a broad range of industries – retail & consumer goods, resources, infrastructure, financial services and the public sector – working with large-scale and complex organisations, often engaging global and diverse audiences. 

Mel has a First Class Economics degree from the University of Exeter Business School. 

Outside of Q5 Mel is mum to Arthur and Bethany. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, staycations, running, photography and experimenting with new vegetarian dishes. At the weekend she can often be found walking in the Kent countryside.
