My Approach

Part Chief Operating Officer and part Chief People Officer, I bring a holistic approach to business strategy that understands the intersection of company goals, employee needs and operational priorities. 

Drawing on years of experience and learnings as an executive leader, I offer solutions-focused advising that provides counsel during times of uncertainty and transition and creates a blueprint for business to evolve, grow and thrive.

About Maren Reed

HATCH Consulting was born out of my desire to provide leaders what I often lacked in the corporate world: an experienced outside perspective that is direct, thoughtful and strategic. 

As a former advertising executive with experience building and leading teams, I draw on my successes and, most importantly, the failures I’ve had as leader to support clients facing a rapidly changing landscape.  Today, I’m not afraid to admit that some of the most invaluable lessons are learned after things don’t go the way we planned.

While the dominant culture puts pressure on executives to only vocalize accolades and accomplishments, I encourage clients to be brave enough to have the hard conversations resulting in more authentic leadership and trust within their organization. 

In my downtime I...

  • Get outside with my family as much as possible

  • Am committed to being a beginner with at least one new thing a year, even when it’s painful

  • Savor the pre-dawn mornings when I meet my running buddies for sacred time together
