Meet Megan Gluth

Megan Gluth’s path to success has been anything but a straight line. From her roots in rural Iowa to becoming the sole female owner and CEO of a top raw materials and service provider, Megan’s leadership story shows that success is possible even when starting from the darkest of places—if you embrace the power of your potential.

MEGAN’S LEADERSHIP STORY

Megan Gluth’s success was far from guaranteed. Born in rural Iowa, she lived a childhood marked with the experience and trauma of poverty and faced poor opportunities for advancement. She failed out of college, struggled with alcoholism, and experienced great personal tragedy at her lowest points. Yet thanks to her own commitment to self-accountability, as well as compassion from those around her, Megan rose from rock bottom, rewrote her story, and emerged as a powerful example of inspiring and empathetic leadership.

 

After completing law school, Megan Gluth became the owner and CEO of Catalynt Solutions, Inc., a leading US-based raw material and chemical services provider. An energetic leader, Megan has drawn on her background as an attorney to craft and implement a creative vision for the company’s future. She is dedicated to the study of leadership and creating a supportive workplace culture, and now she’s using her story to help other leaders and leaders-to-be achieve their visions—while keeping their heads firmly on their shoulders. 
 
Meg currently serves as the Association for Chemical Distributors (ACD) Chair of the Board. She is a past ACD Director at Large, and the former Treasurer of the Chemical Education Foundation. She has served as a member of several industry committees and is deeply committed to the strength of American enterprise. Meg was named an Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2023, a Women’s Presidents Organization (WPO) “Woman to Watch” and Association for Chemical Distributors “Distributor of the Year” award in 2022, as well as being named a Puget Sound Business Journal “40 Under 40” Honoree.
