Melisa Kappely

Having worked across a range of senior roles in major New Zealand companies at a strategic and operational level, I am passionate about building capabilities and engagement to support CEs to drive high performance in businesses.

I began my journey into human resources after studying a Master of Science in Applied Psychology at the University of Canterbury. In building my career I have worked across commercial and people roles and held Senior Management roles in a wide range of industries including Ports, Dairy, and Banking in the private and public sector. Companies I have worked in include Fonterra, Bank of New Zealand, Port Nelson Ltd, and Stats NZ. I joined the Intepeople team in 2016, becoming General Manager in 2020.

As an experienced practitioner I bring a commercial and pragmatic lens to advice provided, focusing more recently on advising CE’s on senior teams performance and challenges, undertaking workplace investigations, acquiring top talent for senior teams, and leading large change management processes.

In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors including tramping into the mountains, great food and wine, and time with my family.
