About Meg Murray
I am a dot connector.Connecting people is what I thrive on, whether for personal or professional reasons. I naturally gravitate towards understanding others, their businesses, challenges, or projects, and instinctively start making connections with my network of contacts, experiences, and solutions. This has not only fostered successful partnerships, friendships, and business growth but has even led to a marriage between an acquaintance and a friend!My career has been shaped by this drive to connect. I have successfully launched and run wine brands, new business ventures, created and grown new divisions of companies, and consistently met and exceeded sales and revenue targets. Some notable accomplishments thus far are: •Launching a wine brand from concept to bottle within 3 months. •Doubling a publicly traded company's subscription base within the first year of hire. •Moving seven figures, and counting, of revenue volume in bulk wine, vineyard land and finished goods via confidential brokering and connecting buyers and sellers. •Partnerships with key influencers and public figures. Prominently: Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and Singer-Songwriter Justine Skye.Curiosity and a commitment to growth have guided my 20-year journey in the wine industry and more recently into technology and coffee. This shift has allowed me to broaden my knowledge in areas like AI, product management, and coding.Personal Life:I am a big fan of McMinnville, Oregon where I live, cultivate community, raise my children and chase my two dogs. I spend time volunteering as a City Planning Commissioner and on the County Parent Leadership Council. I enjoy traveling, entertaining and putting myself in the intersection of fear and growth. And most of all I enjoy connecting dots…Let’s Connect:I believe in the power of conversation to ignite possibilities. If you’re intrigued by the potential of what we could achieve together, reach out. DMs are open for opportunities, collaborations, or simply to start a conversation that might lead to something great.Key Strengths: Strategic Planning, Sales, Innovation, Community Engagement, Foundational Sales Skills, Cross-Functional Collaboration, Financial Forecasting, Marketing, CRM, B2B, B2C, CPG, Destination Development, Economic Development, Subscription Models, Project Management, Program Management, Event Planning, Channel Strategy, Operations Management, Cold Calling, Partnerships, Process Optimization, Business Development and Leadership.

Helping to build out a new coffee category, PX Coffee. Instead of caffeine, Rarebird coffee contains Px, a caffeine derivative your body naturally makes after you consume caffeine.Just like caffeine, Px wakes you up and reduces fatigue. But unlike caffeine, Px won’t leave you feeling jittery, wired, or over-caffeinated. Px is also cleared from your body faster than caffeine, so you can drink Px coffee without it affecting your sleep at night.I provide strategic advisory to the Chief Business Officer. I also spearhead initiatives to enhance market education and awareness, driving brand visibility and customer engagement.Visit Rarebird.Coffee to learn more. -
