After a family tragedy and her own near death, she learned that people don’t do a very good job talking about hardship. After a catastrophic business failure, she realized that we completely overlook the suffering caused by professional and organizational crisis. From this was born a mindset about the complex intersection of grief and crisis, which both informs and is informed by every aspect of her work.

As CEO of Ravenyard Group, Meredith works with individuals and organizations experiencing Capital C crisis – legal or regulatory action, fatalities, white collar crime, scandal, complex family office disputes. Crisis is not a bad tweet; it changes the trajectory of your life. Meredith founded Ravenyard out of an understanding that crisis requires walk-in-ready technical skills, an operational approach, as well as support for leaders and teams. In addition to her work in crisis management, she also works a few shifts a month as a humanist hospice chaplain.

Meredith is also an accomplished investor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. She has nearly two decades of asset management and hedge fund experience, including serving as the Chief Operating Officer for two alternative investment funds. She also co-founded Denali Venture Philanthropy, an investment organization that funds entrepreneurs who are committed to social change. Meredith has led organizations of all sizes, from small start-ups to complex, global operations.

A fifth generation Colorado native, in her free time you can find Meredith driving her pickup on rural, mountain roads headed with her family to go fishing, hiking, or skiing.
