Melanie is Head of Product at PA, the UK’s national news agency. 18 months ago, she and some colleagues embarked on a challenge to completely rebuild PA’s editorial systems and suite of customer products. She met the guys from 10UP, realised the true power of WordPress and the team has been transforming the PA newsroom and its output.
Prior to working at PA, Melanie worked at the BBC in a variety of product and production roles, including for BBC iPlayer and the BBC Learning websites.
In her spare time, Melanie likes to take a tent out to the Sussex countryside, light a campfire and kick back with the sound of nature and a cold beer.
