Melanie Horsford

Chief OPERATING OFFICER

Melanie is the Chief Operating Officer for PathNorth. She also spearheads our many events and trips. She met Doug as an MBA student at Georgetown when she took his class, “The Life of Work: Bringing Meaning to Business.”  She was immediately enthralled by the course material and speakers, many of whom were PathNorth members. She began work with the team part-time as she finished up her courses and joined PathNorth full-time in 2015. She lives in Capital Hill with her husband and 3 kids: George, Alice & Charley. 

What is your favorite PathNorth memory? Sitting at Dans Le Noir, a pitch black restaurant with all blind servers in London, when William Jones (son of PathNorth member Regg Jones) broke into singing the Phantom of the Opera and everyone in the restaurant went silent. It was a stunning moment. 

What is your top bucket list travel experience? The Royal Scotsman train trip through the Scottish highlands.
