Mellissa McIlroy

⭐️ City of Casey Citizen of the Year 2019. I’m the Chief Operating Officer at Virtual Assist, an industry-leading talent placement agency, where I oversee global recruitment operations, talent experience, onboarding, and delivery systems. Over the past decade, I’ve built and led multiple organizations and businesses, including managing teams of 400+ volunteers across large-scale initiatives. My strength is turning vision into clear systems, building healthy culture, and helping people perform at their best. I’m deeply passionate about leadership, communication, and team building, especially in remote, global environments. I believe strong operations create freedom, clarity, and long-term success for both talent and founders. At Virtual Assist, my focus is simple: build elite teams, protect culture, and create an exceptional experience for everyone involved.
