Bio
Megan is, at her heart, a researcher. She loves observing, talking to, and spending time with people. For over a decade, she has worked with clients to answer their most difficult “why do people do that”-questions. In 2016, Megan founded a consulting company called Open with the goal of helping companies and organizations do things they’ve never done before.
Megan has worked across a range of industries including: CPG, financial services, government, health and wellness, industrials, manufacturing, spaces and environments and technology. She believes interesting problems exist everywhere and has had the pleasure of working with companies and organizations of all shapes and sizes, from Fortune 10 to local non-profits. When Megan is not working with her clients, she spends time with students at Carnegie Mellon’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute and Integrated Innovation Institute.
