Meagan English, MSMSL (she/her/hers)

Chief People Officer
Marquis Companies and Consonus Healthcare
Milwaukie, OR, United States

Even though her college major was in health care administration, Meagan English knew she definitely didn’t want to work in a nursing home. “I was a bit afraid of them,” she admits. But after completing an Administrator in Training program as part of an internship, she was hooked on the profession. “I loved doing something different every day, and I especially loved the people,” she says. “I realized senior care wasn’t what it used to be.”

Over the first 15 years of her career, Meagan served as an Administrator at three Marquis campuses, then led the Marquis at Home business line before being promoted to Director of Operations, with oversight over half of the facility portfolio. In 2014, she fulfilled a dream to start her own executive coaching company, preparing aspiring and established leaders to lead with authenticity and compassion.

Now back at Marquis and Consonus and leveraging all those experiences as the Chief People Officer, Meagan is responsible for succession planning for the executive team, as well as leadership development, including identifying rising leaders through the Launch, Rise, Ascend, and internship programs. She also oversees the DEIB Initiatives,the Talent Acquisition Department, the Education Department, and the Immigration Department. “I’m working to engage the next generation of leaders, ensuring our business lines, as well as our industry as a collective, are in the most capable hands as we go into the future,” she says. “I love nurturing people on their career path and seeing them succeed.”

Meagan holds a bachelor’s degree in Health Care Administration from Oregon State University, and a Masters degree in Management, Strategy, and Leadership from Michigan State University. She’s an accomplished speaker on topics including emotional intelligence, team building and values-based leadership, and is also the best-selling author of the book, “Uninvited Guest: The Art of Living with Anxiety, Stress and Overwhelm.”

Meagan has been married to her husband Aaron for 18 years, and time outside of work is mostly spent with her husband watching the athletic pursuits of their two teenagers and enjoying time with friends. Meagan has served on several community boards and is a long-time supporter of youth sports programs in her community. She’s also actively engaged with the Vital Life Foundation and was an early champion of the Backpack to School program.
