Bio:
Megan served for eight years as an attorney with the National Security Division at the U.S. Department of Justice, served as Executive Director to the Global Cyber Alliance, and in November 2021 joined the Institute for Security and Technology as their Chief Strategy Officer. She previously completed an 18-month detail to the National Security Council at the White House where she developed and implemented policies in connection with internet governance, cybersecurity, and cybercrime. Megan also founded Silicon Harbor Consultants to provide cybersecurity counsel to small- and medium-sized businesses. She is currently a fellow at the National Security Institute. Given her professional background, she has a keen interest in how South Carolina positions itself within entrepreneurship in the technology arena, and how society more broadly will make space for developing technologies.
She and her husband made the permanent move to Charleston in 2014, investing in revitalization efforts in the East Side of Charleston even before their relocation.
Megan earned a Juris Doctor from Indiana University's Maurer School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts (magna cum laude) from the University of Notre Dame.
