Kia's Megan Gillam on why she loves change, finding fulfillment, and her true confession-- "I'm a real estate junky!"

I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from executives of major brands at MediaPost's Insider Summits. In the process I've discovered some truly impressive women -- not only for the work they do, but their stories behind the scenes. With Brand Insider: BTS, I get to pull back the curtain on some of the most influential women marketers as they talk about their path to success: the twists and turns, obstacles, inspirations and the valuable lessons learned along the way. 

When is the last time you stepped outside of your comfort zone? For Kia’s Megan Gillam, it’s something she’s learned to embrace. The automotive brand’s director of marketing operations & brand strategy reveals how doing just that, traveling, and taking risks has shaped her both personally and professionally. In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, Megan shares her journey from meticulous planner to someone who thrives in uncertainty. She talks about the importance of continuous learning, the power of asking questions, and why taking a seat at the table—especially for women—is so crucial. Megan also opens up about what fulfillment really means to her, how she measures success, and why progress doesn’t have to be linear to be meaningful. Watch the full conversation in the video above!
