Megan Park
Founder/CEO, Filmmaker & Feminist
I started my career producing events, shifted over to publishing and ultimately landed in filmmaking, working in NYC on award-winning films, documentaries and television. I love to tell people’s stories. After the gut-punch of the 2016 election, I was driven to help women leaders tell their stories and achieve their goals through media–Putting Women In Their Place was born. In college, I said I wanted to be a professional feminist– I have finally achieved my goal!

My resume states that I am a highly accomplished and forward-thinking strategist with extensive experience in acquisitions, integrations, financings, financial control, treasury operations, financial reporting, financial closings, transactions, balance sheet capital, and tax strategies. But at my heart, I am a feminist who always leads with love. I am committed to diversity and humanity, and an advocate for LGBTQ community, animals and children.
