I’ve known and worked alongside Meghan for more than 15 years, and I can say without hesitation that she is among the very best in the field. She brings a rare combination of deep relational warmth and disciplined focus on strategy and implementation. It’s exciting to see her lead her own firm, where many more organizations and donors will benefit from her work.
