CEO & Founder of Story Fruition | Author of The Storyteller’s Mind Movie: Become an Emotionally Connected Leader Through Your Storytelling Skills

As a former data technology executive at Oracle and other pioneering ad tech start-ups, Melissa Reaves knows firsthand how overwhelming slides packed with data can be. But after years in enterprise sales and on stage as a professional storyteller and improviser, she discovered the secret: Data doesn’t drive decisions—stories do. Now, as the CEO of Story Fruition, Melissa and her team teach business leaders how to turn cold numbers into compelling Vision Stories, Customer Journey Stories, and Mission Stories that spark action.

 

Melissa has helped entrepreneurs and executives raise over $170 million in capital using her Mind Movie Method—a data storytelling approach so effective that MBA programs are taking notice.
