When Melisa Cunningham founded Emplify Consulting, LLC in 2024, she brought more than just decades of HR experience to the table—she brought a transformative vision for the future of employee experience. With over 25 years in HR operations, including leadership roles at ServiceNow and General Electric, Melisa is no stranger to navigating complex challenges. Now, as the founder and principal consultant of Texas-based Emplify Consulting, she channels her expertise to deliver tailored strategies that amplify the HR impact for organizations worldwide.

Emplify Consulting’s mission is clear: to redefine the employee experience through innovative and operationally sound HR strategies. Leveraging a foundation of 30+ years of hands-on expertise, the firm addresses key issues such as employee engagement, process optimization, and strategic integration of HR technologies like ServiceNow. Melisa’s unique approach combines operational mindset with strategic foresight, offering solutions that go beyond software implementation to create a cohesive, scalable roadmap for HR success.

“What sets Emplify apart is our ability to strategically guide companies in how to use ServiceNow effectively,” Melisa explains. “While many firms focus on software implementation, we dive deeper—helping businesses build a roadmap, connect their operations with the platform, and truly maximize its potential. This isn’t just theory; I’ve been in the trenches, and I know what works because I’ve lived it.”

The results speak for themselves. Emplify Consulting has quickly expanded its reach, establishing partnerships around the globe, including a foothold in Dubai. The company prides itself on becoming an extension of each client’s team, ensuring a collaborative approach that delivers lasting results. “We don’t just consult from the outside,” Melisa emphasizes. “We dig in on the ground, solve problems together, and see the impact firsthand. That’s what makes our work so rewarding.”

For Melisa, the gratification comes from the exponential impact her expertise can have across multiple organizations. “Leading HR operations within one company is rewarding, but being able to apply that same knowledge to improve employee experiences for many organizations is what drives me,” she says.

Emplify’s tailored engagements ensure that no two strategies are alike. From small adjustments to large-scale overhauls, the firm is committed to creating bespoke solutions that align with each client’s unique needs and goals. Whether optimizing processes or addressing employee engagement challenges, Melisa and her team excel at turning complex issues into streamlined, effective outcomes.

Recognized with Marquis Who’s Who honors for her consulting expertise, Melisa embodies a people-first leadership style that resonates with clients and teams alike. Her ability to mentor, coach, and engage ensures that her solutions aren’t just practical but also deeply impactful.

As Emplify Consulting continues to grow and bring like-minded professionals together, its influence is poised to reshape HR operations for businesses around the world. With Melisa Cunningham at the helm, the future of employee experience looks brighter than ever.
