Melissa Shin: Award-winning media professional

I am a cross-platform, audience-focused media professional who specializes in bringing order to chaos and getting things done.

​

As an experienced leader who manages diverse teams, I am a passionate problem solver.

​

As an award-winning journalist, I turn technical subject matter into accessible, meaningful content for sophisticated audiences. My reporting has been cited in university syllabi, in textbooks and to national regulators.

​

I believe the world would be a better place if we each used our gifts to help each other. To manifest these values, I have been a mentor with the National Media Awards Foundation since 2022 and became a Cherie Blair Foundation Mentor for women entrepreneurs in emerging markets in 2018. I was chair of Point of View Magazine from 2013 to 2017 and was on the board executive for Fashion Takes Action, a non-profit focused on advancing sustainability in the fashion industry, from 2021 to 2025.
