I had the privilege of working closely with Melanie Ray on a complex, high‑visibility corporate initiative to replace an antiquated foundational system with modern technology. From the outset, Melanie brought an exceptional level of organization, clarity, and structure that kept the entire team aligned—even as priorities shifted and new challenges emerged.
What truly sets Melanie apart is her ability to engage cross‑functional teams with ease. She works diligently to understand and document technical requirements, communicates expectations clearly, and ensures every stakeholder has the information they need to move forward confidently. She fosters an environment where questions are welcomed, collaboration thrives, and no detail is overlooked. Her proactive approach meant that potential roadblocks were identified early so they could be managed.Beyond her project management expertise, Melanie is simply a phenomenal teammate. She consistently goes out of her way to support others and ensures knowledge is shared openly. Her professionalism, strong work ethic, and genuine helpfulness made a measurable difference in my ability to navigate this complex project successfully.
I enthusiastically recommend Melanie Ray for any role requiring strong leadership, operational excellence, and the ability to guide complex initiatives with confidence and poise.

I had the opportunity to work with Melanie Ray for nearly nine years at Firelands Regional Medical Center, and she’s one of the most dependable and thorough project managers I’ve worked with. Melanie consistently kept scope, milestones, and deliverables crystal clear—and she made sure the work got done on time.
What really sets her apart is her ability to step into new environments and perform immediately. A great example was the Sports Rehab facility buildout at the Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center—a complex construction project where she quickly adapted, coordinated effectively, and helped deliver all required technology services for our portion of the facility. She communicates well, documents everything the right way, and brings a calm, focused presence to every project. If you need a project manager you can trust, Melanie is it.
