About Us

Meredith Sadoulet

Founder Story

Raised in Pennsylvania, Meredith grew up in a family of small business owners spanning three generations. Her first job in the business world was in customer service at an agricultural company in her hometown’s rural community. A college internship led her to Wall Street, solidifying her interest in business and opening the door to large corporations. She spent the first decade of her career in finance, learning what drives corporate results, and observing how diverse teams contribute to stronger company performance. These experiences sparked her interest in leadership practices, workforce strategy, and organizational culture.

Meredith pivoted into human resources and pursued roles to gain experience across recruitment and talent acquisition, leadership development, learning, compensation, culture and belonging, and more. Over time, she advanced through executive HR roles at Fortune 100 companies, with teams responsible for supporting millions of candidates and thousands of leaders and employees.

Living in Spain and leading teams across the Americas, Europe, and Asia broadened Meredith’s experiences globally and deepened her appreciation for cultural diversity. Serving on nonprofit boards, cross-industry committees, and adjunct university roles sharpened her skills in diplomacy and dialogue. Her lived experience with disability fuels her unwavering advocacy for access and inclusion.

With this lens, Meredith founded ProFound, a search firm built to celebrate the value of different leadership styles, experiences, and backgrounds. Her vision is to connect organizations with leaders who deliver exceptional results and reflect the values, cultures, and communities they serve.
