Melanie Disse Consulting was founded in 2022, out of a desire to offer a unique and innovative approach to serving our clients.
Our strength lies in combining CX thought leadership and technology advisory with our consulting expertise to serve and advice our clients in the best way possible.
We were established to bring the traditionally siloed components of CX Strategy, Customer-Centric Culture, and Technology & Data advisory services together under one roof.
This integrated approach fills a crucial gap in the market and we’re proud to be serving our customers since 2022.
