Patrice Meagher is the Founder and CEO of MilkMate, a Company on a mission to empower working moms and the employers who support them. MilkMate offers an all-in-one breast pumping solution for workplace wellness rooms and was created out of the inefficient experience Patrice had while breast pumping at work after returning from maternity leave for her four children.

Prior to MilkMate, Patrice spent 15+ years as an EVP at CBRE on the top agency leasing team in New York City, representing institutional and entrepreneurial owners. Patrice completed more than 10 million square feet of leasing during her tenure at CBRE and also founded the CBRE Tri-State Women’s Network. Prior to joining CBRE, Patrice served as Senior Associate at Preferred Real Estate Investments, Inc. in Philadelphia. Patrice began her career with The Philadelphia Orchestra Association, where she was responsible for fundraising and coordinating special events.
