The Meet Me In The Cloud Story
PIONEERS IN MODERN WORKPLACE TRANSFORMATION
Since 2011, we’ve been at the forefront of revolutionizing how organizations harness the power of technology to connect, collaborate, and innovate. What began as a mission to improve collaboration tool adoption has evolved into a comprehensive approach to modern workplace transformation—spanning collaboration platforms, AI integration, cybersecurity frameworks, and strategic IT management.
BEYOND IMPLEMENTATION:
CREATING DIGITAL CULTURES THAT THRIVE
Technology alone doesn’t transform organizations—people do. That’s why Meet Me In The Cloud doesn’t just deploy solutions; we architect experiences that inspire genuine adoption and measurable impact.
Our secret? We recognize that technology implementation is fundamentally a human challenge. By deeply understanding your organizational culture, workflow patterns, and team dynamics, we create tailored pathways that turn resistance into enthusiasm and potential into performance—all within 60 days.
This distinctive approach has empowered thousands of organizations worldwide to not just implement modern workplace technologies but to fundamentally transform how their teams connect, create, and achieve together.
WHERE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE MEETS HUMAN INSIGHT
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape—where AI reshapes workflows, security concerns demand sophisticated protection, and collaboration happens across boundaries—organizations need more than technical deployment. They need a partner who understands the intricate interplay between technology, people, and business outcomes.

Felix Odigie
Executive Director
Felix doesn’t just think outside the box—he’s probably already redesigned it, improved its efficiency, and found three new markets for it.
As our resident business strategist and operations maestro, Felix brings the kind of entrepreneurial fire that comes from having built several investment firms from the ground up. Where others see obstacles, he sees puzzles waiting to be solved. Where others see expenses, he spots untapped potential.
“Business is ultimately about people making connections that create value,” Felix often says, usually while simultaneously reworking a process flow diagram and spotting a market trend before anyone else.
His talent for translating bold visions into practical roadmaps has become Meet Me In The Cloud’s secret weapon. Clients who work with Felix quickly discover his uncanny ability to cut through complexity and focus on what truly drives results—whether that’s streamlining operations or identifying collaborative opportunities others have missed.
When he’s not transforming business challenges into strategic advantages, you might find Felix learning a new language, practicing Taekwondo or exploring a new hiking trail. But even then, his entrepreneurial mind is likely still churning, looking for that perfect balance of innovation and execution that has defined his career.
Dave Aiken
VP of Sales
By day, Dave is our relationship-building virtuoso, leading our sales team with the kind of insight that only comes from having one foot in the business world and another in academia.
As VP of Sales, Dave has mastered the art of connecting our solutions to the exact challenges our clients and technology partners face. But what makes his approach unique is that he’s not just selling—he’s applying the same analytical rigor and depth of understanding he brings to his college classroom.
“The best business relationships happen when you stop thinking about transactions and start thinking about transformations,” Dave explains, drawing from his dual perspective as both practitioner and professor.
When he’s not orchestrating partnerships at Meet Me In The Cloud, you’ll find Dave shaping the next generation of business leaders through his teaching. This rare combination means our clients benefit from someone who doesn’t just understand today’s collaboration landscape—he’s actively researching and teaching what comes next.
Dave’s colleagues know him for his great stories and personal anecdotes, while his students appreciate his real-world stories that bring business concepts to life. Both worlds fuel his passion for communicating and creating value that extends beyond the bottom line.
Melessa Carlson
Event Producer
Melessa creates virtual gatherings with the same care and attention she gives to nurturing her prized garden—and the results are just as colorful and vibrant.
As our Event Producer extraordinaire, Melessa has spent over a decade mastering the art of transforming digital spaces into memorable experiences where connections flourish. Her virtual events aren’t just meetings—they’re carefully orchestrated environments where every detail serves a purpose and nothing is left to chance.
“The magic happens in the follow-through,” Melessa often says, which explains her reputation for turning one-off events into lasting business relationships. Her approach combines meticulous planning with the kind of active listening that catches nuances others might miss.
Clients quickly discover that Melessa’s calm presence during high-stakes virtual events comes from the same wellspring of patience that has allowed her to nurture her beloved garden and care for her unique menagerie of pets—including several cats, five dogs, and a tortoise who’s been part of the family longer than some of her colleagues have been in the workforce.
When she’s not orchestrating flawless online gatherings, you’ll likely find Melessa at the beach collecting inspiration, or tending to her garden where she photographs each new bloom with the same attention to detail she brings to our clients’ most important events.
Donna Raines
Project Manager
When you work with Donna, you’re getting more than just a project manager—you’re partnering with someone who understands that successful collaboration happens at the intersection of sharp business acumen and genuine human connection.
Drawing on over two decades of collaboration expertise across the marketing spectrum (from product launches to digital campaigns and everything in between), Donna brings a rare blend of strategic vision and mindful presence to every project. Since joining our team in 2020, she has become known for creating environments where innovation thrives and teams feel truly seen and heard.
What sets Donna apart? Perhaps it’s the 1000+ hours of yoga and meditation training that infuses her project management approach. This background doesn’t just make for interesting conversation—it translates into a tangible ability to intuit what makes people tick, hold space for diverse perspectives, and foster the kind of authentic connections that lead to exceptional results.
According to Donna, “My job isn’t just to track timelines and deliverables—it’s to create conditions where people can bring their whole selves to the work we’re doing together.”
When not orchestrating seamless training experiences or guiding collaborative breakthroughs, you might find Donna on a yoga mat, exploring a hiking trail, or surfing the next perfect wave.

In a world where digital threats never sleep, Rey stands as our vigilant guardian—turning complex cybersecurity challenges into invisible shields that protect everything we do.

This philosophy drives his approach to designing end-to-end solutions that don’t just react to threats but anticipate them.
What sets Rey apart isn’t just his technical expertise—which spans everything from server virtualization to infrastructure maintenance—but his remarkable talent for translating complex security concepts into strategies that make sense to everyone.
