About
Melanie Solmos is the founder and president of Verde, LLC.
Ms. Solmos has spent her career working with engineers, general contractors, and waste management professionals to plan and sell service which further develop industry and infrastructure. Her educational background is technical; however, her talents lie in sales, strategic planning, and government relations. “Every engineering firm, technical service firm, and equipment manufacturer is in business to make money, but no matter how innovative the design, if the people marketing and selling the service/product do not possess the proper interpersonal and persuasive skills, the project never gets off the ground and the prospect never becomes the client,” insists Ms. Solmos.
As the Business Development Manager for Bowen Engineering and the Regulatory Ombudsman for the Indiana Department of Commerce, she demonstrated her ability to analyze and understand numerous businesses in order to effectively address their needs. Prior to founding Verde, she served as the Director of Sales, Marketing, and Strategic Planning for New England Organics; a residuals management company operating in the northeastern U.S.
“Ms. Solmos is a persuasive, self confident leader with a high aptitude for abstract reasoning. She believes in harnessing people’s strengths to achieve the desired results. By constantly striving to define solutions, recognize key partners, formulate action plans and lead those plans to execution she produces results which always exceed expectations.” – James Ecker, General Manager of New England Organics.
