SOAR TO SUCCESS / December 2017 / Feature Article Megan Patton Puts Her Clients First to Soar to Success M egan Patton always was interested in a variety of subjects as a young girl and sought to learn as much as she could about each one. She studied religion at Kenyon College and joined the Peace Corps, where she taught English in Nepal. After her Peace Corps tour ended, she continued to look for the “next best thing” and landed a job working in a start-up consulting company. Although she was not doing consulting work, as the manager of the office, she learned a great deal by watching and absorbing everything happening at that company. It was at this company where she developed a passion for consulting. That led to her pursuing an MBA from Case Western Reserve University. While working on her masters, she interned for a consulting firm specializing in working with early stage companies, and the passion continued to be developed! Two more gigs with consulting firms followed – the first with a strategic consulting firm focused on the steel industry, and the next a large multinational consulting firmwhere she stayed for many years.
