A natural leader, Megan is driven by a passion for engaging team members’ strengths and aligning them with departmental and organizational goals.

Her strong written and oral communication skills paired with empathy make her a sought-after negotiator and an engaging public speaker, advocate, and influencer. Megan attributes much of her leadership style to strategic and team building skills learned on various sports teams and credits her multiple stints studying and working abroad to raising her awareness of the importance of diverse perspectives, grit and perseverance. ​ She is a graduate of Northwestern University and Université de Paris X, with a Master’s in International Wine Business. Ms. Libby also spent her junior year of high school as an exchange student with a host family, attending Lycée.
