Meet Melissa Swink
Founder & CEO of Melissa Swink & Co.

Born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I have been a full-time business owner since March 2012. I left a career in operations and logistics to pursue process improvement consulting - but I quickly discovered that Virtual Assisting was a better solution to the problems faced by many business owners. My clients didn’t have the capacity, knowledge, or in-house expertise to handle all of their administrative and marketing tasks, so I stepped in to fill that gap.

After reaching capacity, I realized I had locked myself into the same problem as my clients - no space to grow and no time freedom. I released my DIY mentality and built my own team. Today, we are a full-service VA team with decades of combined experience in online business management and support.

I’m incredibly passionate about the work we do at Melissa Swink & Co. I see the results of our services, every day, and am proud that we are helping business owners avoid the burnout that too often leads to business closures and mental health issues. As a team, we are built on a mission of supporting our clients with integrity and intentionality. We support scalable and sustainable growth in our clients’ businesses, and I strive to take that same deliberate approach when expanding our own services.

I have the privilege of connecting people who need help in their businesses with those who can meet those needs. As I’ve built my team, I strive to promote equity around the globe. My team members are paid based on skills and experience, no matter where they are located.

I also host the podcast "Make Space for More," which unveils the blueprint to entrepreneurial success. Whether you're trapped in the cycle of overwork or striving to maximize your business's potential, "Make Space for More" equips you with the tools and mindset shifts needed to thrive.

I believe that the world needs the skills and expertise that only you can uniquely provide! I sincerely hope that my efficient, experienced team can take over your administrative and marketing tasks, so you can realign your goals and rediscover your entrepreneurial excitement.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and our sweet-but-mischievous cats. You can find me in the kitchen cooking breakfast, lunch, or dinner and obsessively timing everything to finish at the same time. Although we love going out to eat, we tend to eat our meals at home, especially Mexican and Italian foods.

In my spare time, I love to chill out with a glass of wine and a good book, watch a movie, or listen to music with my daughter. We also volunteer at a local animal shelter. I live in a small city and love urban environments, so I love to visit Chicago as often as I can. When I get the chance to do something indulgent, I head straight to the spa for massages, facials, and peace and quiet.
