About The Founder
My passion for the jewelry trade can be traced back to my pre-teen years, an idyllic childhood where I watched my father start his career as a hard working jewelry sales rep for one of the oldest companies in the industry and was ever so proud when he opened his first retail showroom at the tender age of 21.
The die was cast. Before founding Crabtree Consulting, I built a long and successful career in the jewelry industry, culminating in senior sales roles with several leading firms in the jewelry retail and manufacturing space.
I’ve personally provided training to over 1,500 jewelry retailers throughout the US & Canada. Been the architect of innovative in-store events which generated the equivalent of big box annual sales, in just 3 days. Travelled the world and visited jewelry factories to solve quality issues in China, India, Dubai and Turkey. Columnist with Instore Magazine, moderator, presenter and panelist of Instore Magazine events.
I’ve always strived to deliver results which have set the benchmark in my chosen field. No one can out work me, I’m driven to succeed no matter what. My hands on approach, outside the box creativity and relentless work ethic has served me and my employers well.
These personality traits, coupled with two decades of deep and multi-faceted jewelry biz experience and well-honed commercial instincts are what my consulting clients tell me mark me out from the crowd.

-Megan Crabtree
I have had the pleasure of working with Megan for years, from her being one of the top customers of Gems One to now becoming our consultant. Megan is known for achieving unthinkable results and is 200% hands-on no matter what her title is. She is highly respected in our organization and over a period of two years has worked with our sales team, top executives, merchandising department, and factory to achieve exceptional results. It is very comforting to know that Megan is part of a project or task, as I know it is in the best hands. If you want results and execution or someone to hold everyone accountable there is no one better than Crabtree Consulting.
Had the pleasure of working with Megan for many years. As a supplier, she was one of the best buyers I worked with. Always very detail oriented, knew exactly what she was looking for, and gave opportunities to grow the business when they presented themselves. would highly recommend working with Megan, she knows what she’s doing!
Megan, is one of the Hardest Working People I have ever met in the Jewelry Biz. She delivers Incredible Results and as a Vendor working with her I loved her Passion and Get it Done Attitude… She is a Top Producer…
