"Megan has always been one those "sure, I can take that on. I will figure it out" people! It seems like no task is too daunting. She exudes confidence in her approach and she applies a pragmatic approach to any problem she is tackling. She continually is asking "why are we doing it this way?" and " what could we do differently to make things simpler?" Megan is also an innovative thinker, so if you want a fresh outlook or a new way of doing things, she always has an idea. And she definitely isn't afraid of trying something new and thrives in times of change. She has an uncanny ability to help others through times of change too. She helps others feel part of the process, works with them through the cycles of change, and ensures they have the information they need to be able to digest, engage and move forward." 

Christine Centa, Former Leader and VP of Total Rewards and Operations

"Megan and I worked together for years while at Pivotal Software, a Silicon Valley organization that was ultimately was taken public, then private again. She and I worked together on many projects, among them, our global onboarding redesign and several others to help the company scale globally.

A versatile, experienced and passionate leader, Megan has a unique ability to both craft a strategic vision and translate that into operational action. She is creative with her approach, using first principles thinking to break down an issue or problem to its most basic essence to ensure the best outcome.

Megan is one of those rare people that was repeatedly given stretch projects and roles and always executed them with a high degree of success. She was a key player that could be counted on to deliver high quality, innovative solutions with a highly collaborative approach. I attribute this success to her curiosity, intelligence, passion for her work, desire to challenge norms and assumptions and a resourceful and open mind.

Megan is also a wonderful, caring person with high moral and ethical standards who cares deeply about the success of the organizations she works within and doing the right thing.

I would love to work with Megan again and would recommend her to any Organization that is looking to build around the employee experience, innovate and move fast."

"Megan was one of the most influential leaders that I’ve had the pleasure of reporting into during my career. Megan leads with empathy, kindness, and the most infectious positive attitude. During my time on Megan’s team, I was able to watch her lead multiple business critical implementations simultaneously to successful completion. During this time, I never felt neglected as a direct report; I was empowered to jump in and provide input and learn while she gracefully managed her team and these projects.

Megan built the Benefits program from the ground up. She jumped into a role without prior experience, and created innovative benefit programs on a global scale. She exemplified "building the plane while flying" and did so gracefully. She managed this while implementing a new Payroll and HRIS program, with a short runway to completion.

Without a doubt, I would not be where I am in my career without her leadership, support, and encouragement. I am incredibly thankful for all that I have learned while working for Megan, and strongly feel she would be a great leader on any team."
