Author Bio
Melissa McCann-Tilton is a revenue strategist, organizational futurist, and unapologetic truth-teller on a mission to rewrite the rules of work—and the inner lives of those doing it. As President and Chief Revenue Officer at Criteria Corp, she drives growth with humanity, blending strategic firepower with grounded presence.
She’s led companies through hypergrowth, high-stakes exits, and the occasional spectacular implosion—earning a battle-tested understanding of what it means to build, break, and rebuild with intention.
​
Raised in religious extremism in the Deep South, Melissa once used business as armor. But everything changed in 2023, when the loss of her best friend sparked a spiritual reckoning. Grief became an initiation—into stillness, surrender, and the deeper truths she’d outrun through success.
A mother of four and conscious growth advocate, Melissa invites you to dismantle what no longer serves and build something more alive, aligned, and human.
