“I see a mentor, a friend, and a colleague in Meredith who is willing to grow together. She constantly focuses on bringing efficiencies in day to day operations not only from process standpoint but from people standpoint as well. I love her passion for standing behind her team at all times. Her energetic approach on leadership is very impactful. The best way to describe it would be 'operating with a start-up mindset'. Innovative, speed to market are some of the innate qualities that I have seen in her. She is a leader who could be breath of fresh air for any organization.”
