Melissa is a proud Wiradjuri woman who was born and raised in Canberra. After graduating from the University of Canberra with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2002, Melissa completed the Public Service Indigenous Cadetship with the Department of Human Services. In 2005, Melissa took on a role with a leading accounting firm and developed robust skills in a range of financial services, eventually specialising in Internal and External Audit and Forensic Accounting services.
In 2009, Melissa returned to the public sector and took up an Assistant Director role focused on providing budgeting and financial forecasting services for a major Federal department.
Throughout her career, Melissa has aspired to build and lead a business that can be shaped by her professionalism, dedication and values. The opportunity to team up with her great friend, Sally, was too good to pass up.
“It is a fantastic feeling to take the next step and a journey that has been developing for the past 15 years. Sally and I are really looking forward to combining our strengths, intelligence and experience to set a new benchmark for professional services in Canberra through our company – Point River Networks.”
Sally started her professional journey at the tender age of 12, initially learning the ropes and developing her skills to take a leading role in the Family Investment and Finance business until she was 25 (when the company was sold to AMP).
After completing a Diploma in Information Technology (Networks and Infrastructure) and spending four years in the U.K working in technical I.T and project management roles, Sally returned to Australia and started a new System Integrator, with her husband in 2009. The business has gone from strength to strength and has been recognised as one of the fastest growing Services Integrators in Australia.
Looking for a new challenge, Sally jumped at the chance to team up with a great friend, Melissa Lacey, to establish Point River Networks.
“I am super excited to devote my skills and experience to the formation of Point River Networks and grateful for the opportunity to work with my great friend Melissa to realise her vision for the business.”
If you’ve got a challenge to overcome, a project to deliver, a new business requirement or you just want to know more about Point River Networks, we’d love to hear from you.
