 Melissa Mitchell

Melissa founded LAS Worldwide based on her experiences working with various vendors in a variety of positions.  Her experiences showed her that there was a lot of opportunity to provide more of a personal relationship based business verses a corporate based experience for clients.    Her belief was that building an honest sincere relationship with clients would provide continuous growth for LAS as well as the client. 

With a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado and a Masters Degree from Emporia State University, Melissa brings a fresh point of view to the transportation industry from the customers perspective.  This new perspective was gained while working for various industries including the Internal Revenue Service, Colorado Department of Corrections as well as the City of Colorado Springs.

Melissa has attended Paris Air Show & Asian Aerospace as well as many domestic tradeshows which has given her the insight into how to structure LAS Worldwide into a customer service based company.  She has emphasized the importance of "doing what's right" for the client.
