Melissa Perkins-Nelson
Regional Account Manager, Mountain West
Melissa joined ERIS in 2022 as the Solutions Account Manager when Scriva, ERIS’ report-authoring platform, launched. She brings over 20 years of successful sales experience across international and domestic territories in diverse markets, including environmental lab services; hazardous waste solutions; animal health (pharmaceuticals, biologicals, diagnostics solutions); software (financial, hospitality, business solutions, international sourcing and logistics). Melissa’s initiatives to develop strong business relationships and establish internal workflow processes provided ERIS’ sales and Scriva teams a solid base with customers, and the momentum to boost Scriva toward ongoing and future success. As of April 1, 2024, Melissa represents ERIS as a Regional Account Manager in the Mountain West territory, serving existing clients and developing new business. She continues to focus on clients, listening to their needs, building relationships, and learning how she can partner with them to provide them with the solutions they need to accomplish their goals and be successful. Melissa will focus on growing market share by providing the highest level of customer service to ERIS clients while delivering the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and accurate environmental risk data and digital solutions. She is a results-driven, strategic thinker who is resilient, high-energy, and immensely positive.
Born and raised in Boulder, Colorado, Melissa has a passion for being outside, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, fly fishing, snowmobiling, archery, falconry, and reading a book in a sunbeam. Past passions include playing polo, which she still loves to watch. When not with her family, including her Chesapeake Bay Retriever, cats, pet pig Pedro, and horses, or working on her small ranch in Colorado, you can find her at pilates or in riding lessons to compete in dressage, jumping, and eventing. Melissa promotes suicide awareness/prevention and melanoma awareness/prevention and loves to travel.
