Melissa Fein’s best of 2019: Joy after tragedy, ocean swimming, and a focus on people
To end 2019 on a positive note, Mumbrella’s Brittney Rigby asks a number of media agency chief executives to share their best part of the year, both professionally and personally. Here, Initiative CEO Melissa Fein shares her highlights.
2018 was not an easy year for Melissa Fein’s tight-knit family. Her brother and his partner had identical twins, the first grandchildren in a family so excited to welcome them into the world.
“We had two beautiful girls,” Fein tells me. “And then, about four months into their life, we devastatingly lost one of the twins.”
Just like that, a joyous year became one marred by tragedy and grief. So when I ask Initiative’s local CEO to share the best part of this year, the answer comes easily.
