our story
Melody began to spend more time in the office with Gabrielle, her college roommate and best friend of eight years, when something clicked and she realized she had more to contribute.
At this point, Gabrielle’s goal was to find business partners. She sought people equally as driven if not more so than she, to pass on her knowledge and experiences in order to train them to run the company's new offices. She had difficulty finding those people. Melody did not. Melody acted as the company’s corporate recruiter, while Gabrielle worked hard to train the creative, ambitious and hard working partners Melody was finding.
Now as Vice President, Melody combines her passion for business with her ability to create an enthusiastic environment, conducive to the growth, development, and future expansion of CORConcepts, Inc.
As President and CEO, Gabrielle continues to groom, one-at-a-time, the future partners of the company in order to continue expansion into multiple cities and campaigns spanning the globe.
