Melanie Sherk

Since joining Zazzle in 2005, Melanie is responsible for overseeing all legal matters, including commercial contracts, intellectual property, employment law, and privacy issues. As Vice President of Business Development, she leads a team that secures new strategic partnerships for Zazzle while also managing relationships with Zazzle's existing licensing partners, including Disney, Getty Images, Sesame Street, and The Collegiate Licensing Company. Prior to Zazzle, she held both legal and business affairs positions with a number of privately-held and publicly-traded companies. Melanie holds a BA from Agnes Scott College and a JD cum laude from the University of Georgia. Melanie calls San Francisco home but she's still got love for her native North Carolina, particularly the barbecue and pimento cheese and the Dogwood blossoms in the spring. She enjoys cycling with friends, discovering up-and-coming musical artists, and taking her rescue dog, Clementine, for beach romps.
