Maceo Owens

CEO and Founder, The ERG Movement

Maceo Owens, aka The ERG Homegirl, is a Gen Z ERG Enthusiast. After ERGs changed the trajectory of her life, she’s passionate about helping them to do the same for others - by making efficient ERGs as simple as possible. Maceo has served as an ERG LEader and Program Manager to major tech companies. As a former support agent, she’s also passionate about “frontline” engagement in ERG Programs. Maceo has a deep interest in entrepreneurship since her teen years and has spent years studying the craft of building a successful business. When she took her learnings and applied them to ERGs, she realized that she had something different - something ERG Programs needed. Through The ERG Movement, founded in 2022, Maceo hopes to drive much needed change in the ERG space.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) have been a transformative force in my life, and I'm passionate about unlocking their potential to impact others similarly. However, I've noticed a gap in how many ERG Programs are structured; they often lack a foundation for long-term success. My drive comes from bridging this gap. By integrating proven business development practices into the ERG landscape, I've developed a unique and revolutionary approach. This blend of business acumen with the dynamic world of ERGs fuels my enthusiasm for my job every day. It's not just about managing programs; it's about pioneering a change that reshapes the ERG ecosystem for lasting impact and success.

The ERG Movement

The ERG Movement, under the leadership of Maceo Owens, is igniting a revolution in the Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) space. With a vision to drive impactful, sustainable change, this organization aims to redefine the way ERGs operate and influence. By integrating time-tested business development principles, proven successful over decades, The ERG Movement seeks to infuse these established strategies into the ERG realm. This approach is not just about enhancing ERG programs; it's about catalyzing a movement that reimagines the potential and efficacy of ERGs, which have been a part of the corporate landscape for nearly 60 years. While The ERG Movement does offer targeted services, its core mission is to foster a transformation in the ERG world, setting a new standard for how these groups can produce excellent results without the heavy lift that often burdens ERG leaders and Program Managers.
