About Melina McGowan

As the co-owner and Chief People Officer at Advantage Drafting, LLC, I provide overall leadership and guidance by overseeing talent acquisition, employee career development, succession planning, retention programs, training, performance management, compliance, and leadership development. As a strategic human capital business advisor to the senior management team and CEO, I develop initiatives, policies, and programs to complement existing practices and create consistency across the organization. I also oversee benefit and compensation plans to ensure cost efficiencies and attractiveness to retain top talent. With over 20+ years of combined experience in the oil and gas and facade industry, I deeply understand the technical and business challenges and opportunities in this dynamic and competitive sector. I leverage my engineering background and customer engagement skills to advise, select, develop, and design products and services that meet the needs and expectations of our clients. I have been recognized as a subject matter expert for hydraulic sliding sleeves, well monitoring, flow meters, and intelligent production systems. I have also supported product line growth and prepared detailed technical proposals and RFQ submittals for worldwide strategic tenders and sales opportunities. My mission is to drive business growth and talent development at Advantage Drafting by applying my expertise, passion, and vision.
