Tyrel Melville, FMP is the Senior Regional Manager, Real Estate & Facilities, Caribbean South Hub for Scotiabank. He is passionate about inspiring his fellow FM practitioners, building effective teams, and working with industry-partners to meet the needs of the workplace throughout a portfolio that crosses the borders and cultures of a dozen Caribbean countries. Mike Petrusky asks Tyrel to share a bit about his FM journey, his relationships through IFMA and passion for sharing motivational quotes and facility management inspiration on social media with "Smart Start Facility". We talk about the importance of partnerships, the evolving role of FMs, and the need for continuing education and development of expertise to keep pace in the modern built environment. Mike discovers the song that helps Tyrel stay positive even during the tough times he sometimes faces as an FM, and the two find time to sing a brief duet!
