Megan Oechsel

Megan is a principal in True’s Go-to-Market and Software & Enterprise Tech Practices, based in San Francisco.

Before joining True, Megan spent seven years at SPMB, recruiting VP, C-suite, and board-level executives to GTM roles for high-growth enterprise and consumer clients. She successfully completed more than 90 searches for companies such as Checkr, Dynatrace, Dataiku, NerdWallet, and Credit Karma. 

Originally from the Bay Area, Megan earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. During her competitive rowing career in college, she earned a National Championship title in lightweight rowing in 2014. Though no longer a competitive rower, Megan stays highly active outside of work. In 2019, she completed two marathons, including the Boston Marathon! On the weekends, you can find her in a pilates class or walking or running along the water in San Francisco.
