Director of Client Services, OH Partners
Melina Kiser, Director of Client Services at OH Partners, has become an indispensable extension of the Arizona Lottery team, demonstrating the drive, commitment and integrity associated with the Powers Award.
Over the past year, Melina has been more than a vendor; she has been an indispensable extension of the Arizona Lottery family. When a critical internal team member took leave, she stepped in to serve as a temporary agency-side lead and internal liaison. She managed this transition with such grace and professionalism that the service remained seamless, a testament to her deep institutional knowledge and "client-first" philosophy.
Melina’s fingerprints are on every major success the team have celebrated recently. She was integral in getting Arizona Lottery’s most high-profile campaigns across the finish line, including the Jumbo Bucks launch, Arizona Lottery’s Multiplier scratchers, Holiday, and the high-energy Loaded Cash Explosion campaign. Her ability to synthesize complex Omni-Channel strategies, refined over 16 years of experience in the Seattle market, directly resulted in the high ROI and brand alignment the team see today.
Beyond the numbers, Melina’s personal work ethic sets a gold standard for Arizona Lottery’s industry:
Dependability: Melina is the definition of "one and done." You only have to tell her something once, and she executes it with precision.
Accountability: She keeps all team members, both agency and lottery-side, on task and accountable to Arizona Lottery’s shared goals.
Action-Oriented: She doesn't just identify problems; she arrives with solutions already in motion.
Integrity: The team trust her implicitly because they know she always has the best interests of the Arizona Lottery at heart.
Melina’s growth this year has been remarkable. By navigating the internal pressures of a state agency while maintaining her high-level strategic role at OH Partners, she has proven herself to be a versatile and visionary leader. She is truly an outstanding worker who is as easy to communicate with as she is effective at her job.
