Melissa Jones

Melissa was born and raised in Quebec City, the last of a large family of 4 sisters. She currently lives in Montreal with her husband, their three daughters and their cat Zoé.
In 2000, she completed her Bachelor of Business Administration with a specialization in marketing at University Laval. Melissa was immersed in the retail and fashion world in her mother’s company for 35 years and she developed a strong sense of entrepreneurship. That’s why she joined the family business in 2002, leading the marketing department for 15 years.
Melissa then transitioned to a completely different field, that of animal health, as Product Manager for the large animal division at Vetoquinol. This 5-year experience introduced her to a new industry and allowed her to make a place for herself in this other big family that is agriculture. She also worked in the human health field as a brand manager for a pharmacy banner.
Melissa joined Solvet in October 2022 as a Marketing Product Manager. She has an assigned portfolio of companion and large animals’ products under her care and leads several related marketing projects.
She shares the Olson’s family mission to serve Canadian producers well and to be dedicated to improving the lives of people and animals.
