Nan Meehan brings more than two decades of strategic sales, marketing, and advisory leadership to her work with healthcare and dental practice owners. Her career has spanned the dental, optical, and consumer goods sectors, helping teams grow, shaping new product development strategies, and guiding organizations through moments of change and opportunity. What’s stayed consistent throughout her journey is her commitment to helping people make informed, confident decisions.
Nan built her career leading high-performing teams at companies such as Zimmer Biomet/Zimvie Dental, ABB Optical, ACCO Brands, Day-Timer, and Newell Rubbermaid. She’s driven substantial growth across competitive markets, managed large P&Ls, launched category-leading products, and developed go-to-market strategies that consistently outperformed expectations. Along the way, she was recognized as one of Vision Monday’s “Most Influential Women in Optical” for her leadership and innovation.
But Nan’s work has never been just about revenue or market share. It’s been about relationships. She has a gift for listening deeply, asking the right questions, and helping people see their options clearly. She’s often described as someone who brings calm, clarity, and grounded guidance to conversations that carry real weight.
At Polaris Healthcare Partners, Nan helps group practice owners think through the decisions that shape their next chapter, whether they’re exploring a future sale or simply wanting to understand what’s possible. Her approach is simple: clarity without pressure, alignment without confusion, and support rooted in trust.
Outside of work, Nan feels fortunate to enjoy golf with her husband and friends, staying fit and healthy, and connecting with family. She has 3 adult married kids and 7 grandchildren, ranging in ages from 4 months to 4 years old.
