Meghan Beaupre
Chief People Officer
People & Talent executive with a proven track record of driving organizational transformation in private equity-backed and high-growth environments. With over 50 transactions completed or supported throughout my career, I bring a rare blend of operational depth and strategic insight across M&A, integration, and human capital acceleration.
My hybrid background as a consultant and operator makes me an exceptional business partner to CEOs, deal teams, and boards. I have led people functions in startups scaling from single digits to hundreds of employees, as well as in PE-backed enterprises with 4,000+ headcount and $500M–$1B in revenue. I'm agile, adaptable, and deeply attuned to the demands of dynamic, acquisitive organizations. My ability to tell the “people story” in a compelling way makes me a critical asset in sell-side preparation and post-close integration.
Most recently serving as Chief People Officer for a rapidly scaling investment and holdings firm, I built the entire people infrastructure from the ground up, hired a powerhouse executive team, launched multiple brands, and implemented a broad-based employee ownership program.
I am based in Boston, MA and open to hybrid or remote opportunities. Ideally suited for a PE or venture-backed organization with 50–500+ employees and/or $20M–$100M+ in revenue that needs a strategic People leader to drive toward a successful exit—or a larger enterprise looking to elevate its HR operations.
