Melissa Telli has joined the UCSF School of Dentistry as marketing director; her first day was June 12. She succeeds Marc Fredson, who has moved to UCSF Health.
Telli comes to the School of Dentistry from UCSF’s Clinical & Translational Science Institute at the Mission Bay campus, where she led strategic communications and marketing. Prior to coming to UCSF, Telli held marketing positions at a number of technology companies where she gained experience in brand management, digital marketing and marketing communications.
Here, Telli will focus on marketing efforts for UCSF Dental Center, as well as for the school. Her arrival completes the center’s core management team.
“We are very excited to welcome Melissa to the School of Dentistry and the Dental Center,” said Larisa Kure, associate dean for administration and finance. “We are confident that her skills and experience will help us move the school’s and Dental Center’s brands to the next level.”
