Melanie Anjele Cameron

Melanie Anjele Cameron has dedicated her career to improving business processes and business systems, especially in the areas of finance and accounting. Always a strong believer in the sharing of knowledge about computer systems and how to use them, she has been the chairperson for the AZOAUG, the Phoenix-area Oracle applications users group, for the past seven years, participating not only in scheduling the events, but also as a lecturer. Her career has taken her from a transaction processing clerk to an executive during an IPO, as well as co-owner of her husband's business, leaving her knowledge of business well rounded and in depth, from detailed transactions to their broader impact on the business itself. Lucky to find an organization where this breadth of knowledge can be used to assist other companies, Melanie now manages the Oracle Applications at Southwest Windpower, finally being able to combine her knowledge of Oracle with her passion for clean tech. While participating in the high-tech world of business, Melanie keeps her feet firmly planted in the low-tech world of needlework, spending most of her nonworking hours knitting and creating pieces of art with a needle, including needlepoint and Japanese embroidery. This, combined with a love for good food and cooking, helps to keep the pressures of our high-tech society at bay. Melanie lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, with her husband, Bill, and two dogs, Josie and Yuki.
