Melissa Cote

Melissa is usually known as the face — and megaphone! — of SCGC. She grew up near Miami and spent a few years in the Caribbean and South America. After her undergraduate studies at Concordia University, she spent 18 months in a volunteering program in Belgium. Upon her return, she worked within the Real Estate Private Equity group of CDP, a $300b sovereign investment fund. Melissa paused her career for some time to be home with her young children, during which time she launched a plant-based food blog, still active today with 46,000 followers. When she’s not sourcing candidates or inventing vegan recipes, Melissa can be found training for a triathlon somewhere in the Bay Area.
