MG2 Announces Global 2021 Promotions

There’s no denying that the past year has been a difficult one. Continually presenting us with a rollercoaster of emotions, trials, and previously unfathomable tribulations—both personally and professionally—it’s nevertheless essential for us to take a moment to reflect on all that is behind us as we look ahead to a fresh start and a new year.

With insurmountable dedication, passion, resilience, and leadership in the face of a crazy year of unknowns, MG2 is proud to have the fiscal and cultural privilege of announcing the 2021 promotion of over 40 employees across all of our global offices, including the promotion of Dave Schmitz and Janelle Schneider to Principal.

→ See Janelle’s promotion announcement in the Puget Sound Business Journal.

→ See Dave’s promotion announcement in the Los Angeles Business Journal.

→ See our press announcement in the DJC.

We have long prided ourselves on being a culture of recognition and appreciation, and every single one of these individuals stepped up, took on, and overcame challenges that we as a firm could never have anticipated. We are so grateful to have all of you helping define a bright future for MG2, and congratulations to all of you for making our firm such a special place to be.
