Steve Holsinger joins Melon as Chief Salesforce Architect

Holsinger will have oversight of the strategic direction, expansion and operation of Melon’s Salesforce practice, which has redefined the eCommerce experience of several industry-leading companies across the Americas. This addition strengthens Melon’s expertise in leveraging SFCC to deliver best-in-class eCommerce solutions — from strategy through development to long-term support. 

“I am thrilled that Steve will be joining our team,” said Ryan Nicholson, founder and president of Melon. “He shares our values and our passion for innovation, and he places the same strong emphasis that we do on delivering real value to our clients. He has shown himself to be a remarkable leader throughout his career and we look forward to him continuing the growth of our great team.”

“I am excited to join Melon, and I very much look forward to working with our global teams to further develop the capabilities of Melon’s Salesforce practice,” said Holsinger. “I admire the mission and the energy of the team at Melon. I like that blend of small agency agility and large agency talent. The passion of this team is infectious. I look forward to maximizing the value Melon delivers to its clients through the power of Salesforce.”

Holsinger will join Melon, bringing with him over a decade of experience with Salesforce Commerce Cloud and managing technical teams. He came to Melon from XCentium, where he served as practice director of Salesforce Commerce and has led the company through a period of remarkable global growth. Prior to XCentium, he was a technical director of Astound Commerce where he drove technical architecture standards for the technical services team & delivered value & architectural oversight to key clients. 

Holsinger is reconnecting with his roots of working for a company with personality, passion, & drive. Prior to Astound Commerce, he was a partner in Moku Collective, a boutique eCommerce firm that grew from four people to nearly one hundred prior to its acquisition by DEG Isobar. His passion for community building has seen him co-found, support and build a Slack community reaching over seven thousand people. As Chief Salesforce Architect, he’ll bring that same passion to Melon where he’ll apply it to helping developers and architects grow as professionals while also driving measures to increase efficiency and deliver on Melon’s commitment of strong partnership based on truth, connection, and value.
