Mary Egan

About Mary

• When she was 23, she was teaching math in a New York City public school.
• She knew she loved the problem-solving aspect of teaching math, but she didn't have a passion for teaching, so she went to business school.
• After getting her MBA, she worked at a consulting firm for 14 years.
• As a working mother of three, she started to notice that their family dinners were often compromised by busy schedules.
• To save time shopping and cooking, she put her organizational skills to use and made an Excel spreadsheet of recipes and ingredients.
• She assumed that someone else would've published a similar tool on the Internet, but couldn't find anything remotely helpful.
• Took it upon herself to start Gatheredtable to help other parents in similar situations make healthy family meals.
• Says people get paralyzed trying to figure out where to plant their foot on the first step, but you can always pivot and make a change down the road.
