Meagan Metzger

Meagan’s passion is working with the latest and greatest technology companies to develop and implement long-term strategic plans and operations. She has worn many hats in the Government market – from software design, quality assurance, operations, and program management, to developing go-to-market strategies, crafting marketing campaigns, and performing business development. She has even started and operated several successful companies in the government space, serving as both COO and CSOs. Meagan has an intimate knowledge of the government buying process. She has worked closely with senior leadership across Department of Defense and the civilian space, providing hands-on support for the execution of billion-dollar IT programs. If she’s not in the office, you may find her out on the backpacking trail, without a shower, eating beef jerky….don’t worry though, she showers for work.

Chris has worked in the public sector IT market for over sixteen years and has an impressive record of working with emerging small-to-medium-sized companies new to the government.
