Meet Our Founder: Megan McNally
Our Chief Strategist, Lead Consultant, and Managing Director, Megan is a Seattle-based attorney, strategy consultant, and community builder. She brings executive-level leadership and on-the-ground tactical experience to all aspects of organizational design, legal strategy, and corporate development. Our clients appreciate her empathy, humor, and collaborative approach whether strategizing the future or solving complex problems.
​
Megan’s work has spanned nearly three decades, most sectors, and many industries. She has served as an organizational leader, consultant, educator, and public speaker, including executive roles with the NPower National Network, Washington State Bar Association & Foundation, Pacific Science Center, and Diana Sports|TV, a sports media startup she founded to help sports fans discover and connect with women’s sports. What each of these organizations has in common is that there is a community at the very heart of what they do and why they do it. Megan is most passionate about using her experience to help great leaders build high-impact organizations that deliver exceptional results beyond profit. She especially enjoys working with public-private partnerships, membership associations, game changing startups, and social impact companies.
