Melissa is a Bay Area native, born in San Francisco and raised in San Jose, a proud graduate of Notre Dame San Jose and Santa Clara University. She is a second-generation tech industry professional, which gives her a unique perspective into the ever-evolving world of technology and innovation.

Melissa began her career in inside sales at Arcom in 1990, a small, San Jose-based hardware distributor. Melissa transitioned through software and hardware sales before moving into internet sales in the early 1990s. She was part of the pioneering team at Netcom, one of the first commercial internet service providers, where she met Paul Hopkins, her lifelong partner. Her career continued at ANS, Level 3 Communications, and she became a founding sales team member at Equinix, witnessing its historic IPO.

In 2001, Melissa took a hiatus to focus on raising her two daughters, Isabella and Katie. However, her passion for leadership continued to shine through the Addison Elementary PTA where she held every executive position, from president to treasurer. After successfully launching her two daughters into their own academic and professional pursuits, she joined Paul at OLH Ventures, where she now serves as CRO.

Passionate about mentorship and leadership, Melissa is excited to support and guide young professionals as they navigate their careers. Her experience in tech sales, leadership, and operations makes her a valuable mentor and strategist in today’s fast-moving digital economy.
