It is rare when two opposites can partner, form a business and make it wildly successful. Such was the case in 2000 when Jane Melevin and Mike Field joined forces. It was the right brain meeting the left brain. The techie and the creative. Yet, the one trait they shared in common was the most important of all: a laser sharp customer focus.
