Meghan DiGiacomo

Senior Consultant

Greenville, South Carolina

“Working with industry professionals to help them understand the true costs and values of their location options is very satisfying to me. It’s not enough to provide an incentive number; to make an informed decision, companies need the actual value of those incentives along with the cost of doing business at that location. That’s what leads to long-term success.”

Meghan, a Senior Consultant at VisionFirst Advisors, brings a wealth of experience in global site selection and economic development at various levels – state, local, and regional. Her expertise is both wide-ranging and specialized, making her a valuable member of the VisionFirst team. Her dedication to each client has earned her significant recognition and respect in the field, including being named as one of North America’s Top 50 Economic Developers by Consultant Connect.

Before her tenure at VisionFirst, Meghan was a Senior Consultant with Global Location Strategies (GLS). In this capacity, she guided companies in making strategic location decisions that fostered growth and success. She invested time in understanding the client’s process, key drivers, preferences, and risks to address their location, logistics, workforce, and incentive needs, ultimately helping them achieve their goals. She also provided advice to economic development organizations on best practices, site readiness efforts, workforce development, and site visit coaching.

Earlier in her career, Meghan served as the Executive Manager of Business and Economic Development for her hometown at Highlands County Economic Development. She also held board positions for the Florida Heartland Economic Region of Opportunity and the Florida Rural Economic Development Association. Additionally, she was a Business Development Director at Enterprise Florida (EFI), where she initiated projects that resulted in more than 2,000 jobs and $110 million in capital investment. Meghan’s professional journey began at the Small Business Development Center at UCF.

Meghan is a proud alumna of the University of Central Florida, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and an MBA. When she’s not immersed in her professional duties, Meghan spends time with her cherished Goldendoodle, Gunther, and indulges in hobbies like solving jigsaw puzzles, listening to true crime podcasts, and baking. She also enjoys doing her own acrylic dip manicures. A devoted fan of Elton John, Meghan has had the pleasure of attending his concerts all over the world, a total of twelve times.
