Megan Weiler Green serves as Counsel and Engineering Manager at Weiler in Knoxville, IA. Green is also Counsel for Weiler Forestry, Inc. in LaGrange, GA. Green is a graduate of Iowa State University (B.S., Finance) and the University of Iowa College of Law (Juris Doctorate). Green worked for 9 years as in-house counsel for State Farm Insurance Companies in Bloomington, IL, counseling clients in multiple states on legislative, regulatory, public policy, banking, litigation and public policy issues.

In 2017, Green and her family moved back to her home state of Iowa. Her family’s manufacturing business was growing rapidly and needed dedicated counsel. Green’s work experience and passion for the family business made the move a natural fit. Green joined as Counsel and Procurement Manager. She transitioned from Procurement to Engineering in 2019 and now manages the engineering, service, product safety and technical publications groups. Green led Weiler through a major acquisition as they closed on the purchase of Caterpillar’s purpose-built forestry business in the fall of 2019. Green is a member of the company’s senior leadership team and is President of the Weiler Foundation for charitable giving.
