Hi there!
My name is Meg and I am the founder of The Growth Compass - a coaching and consulting company that partners with entrepreneurs across the nation to build thriving small and medium-size businesses.
I am passionate about inspiring others to achieve success, using candor and collaboration to align myself with my clients' goals in order to generate the best results for their businesses.
How do I do this? By serving as the guide in the background for leaders whose businesses are on a trajectory of growth and optimization. I take on the role of coach, consultant, or integrator based on the specific needs of each client.
I've adopted a balanced approach to business by considering the triple bottom line - people, planet, and profit - throughout my work. I tackle tough challenges with the mindset of an engineer, yet without surrendering the human element of business.
My experience spans across various leadership roles in engineering and operations management, with a concentration in manufacturing. Before launching The Growth Compass, I had over a decade of experience delivering results in both entrepreneurial and corporate environments. Recent work includes:
-
Guided PE Investors and Founder in growing CNC machine shop by 2x revenue and +7% EBITDA in 18 months, laying the foundation for future growth within the Aerospace & Defense industry
-
Facilitated an executive leadership transition and Founder/CEO succession while preserving the company’s culture, growth trajectory, and operational efficiency
-
Collaborated with leaders to grow a distilled spirits business from concept to launch which quickly generated revenue through new product releases, capacity expansions, technological advancements, and capital investments
-
Supported company-wide Continuous Improvement initiatives at food and beverage manufacturing plants across the USA by training teams and their leaders on LEAN+TPM methodologies and by implementing process improvements which impact safety, cost, quality, reliability, & engagement performance metrics
So who am I outside of my work life? Well when I'm not helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses, I enjoy:
- Kicking my husband's butt in billiards and strategy games
- DJing for my family in our living room
- Taking the cats on stroller walks around the neighborhood
- Rollerblading (since before Barbie said it was cool again)
Please don't hesitate to reach out so I can work alongside you to transform the vision for your business into a roadmap to reality!
