“Melinda Haynes is a dynamic and powerful leader. She has the rare ability to lead a team to achieve results far beyond their cumulative abilities,” Justin Nielsen, CEO and founder of Onset Financial, says. “Melinda draws from an internal work ethic that is truly second to none, but just as critical is that her application of intense effort is contagious throughout the entire organization. She has vast knowledge of equipment finance, which allows her to lead with strength at every level in all departments.
“Melinda was a beacon of strength for Onset throughout the most uncertain economic and social adversity on record. She helped the Onset team cohesively thrive with success when many organizations were merely fighting for survival. Melinda fearlessly tackles every situation with a willingness to professionally perform any task with precision to bring success to her team. She spearheaded the Onset COVID Payment Relief Program, helping dozens of our valuable customers survive the economic shutdown. She directly communicated with many customers and funding partners to ensure overall success. During the shutdown, Melinda Haynes never blinked, not even once. She is an epic leader who is worthy of praise across all industries. She truly is a force of nature in the equipment finance industry and we are so grateful to work with her at Onset Financial.”
