Melissa’s success at BMM, combined with 13 years of past regulatory and industry experience, make her a natural leader to take on BMM’s government relations in North America across both commercial and tribal jurisdictions. She has built a strong team of professionals at BMM.”

That growth provides a unique opportunity to expand our licensing portfolio and enhance our relationships with regulators. The company is stronger than ever and I look forward to developing my team through its next phase of growth.”
