Broadcast project management and some of the biggest in the industry with Melissa Carr.

It wasn't until many episodes in thinking I need someone who
works in broadcast projects on the show and then the eureka
moment I thought I wonder if Melissa would be up for this - and
with a quick call to set it up she was in the studio talking
about projects.


Time again hearing how people started off in the industry, in
this case loading floppy discs! But although I knew Melissa had
done project work in broadcast who knew she was head of business
analysis, six sigma, programme manager and runs her own
consultancy - great stories to hear.
