Megan Christine Barry (née Mueller; born September 22, 1963) is the 7th mayor of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, a post she has held since 2015. She is the first woman to hold the post. Previously, she served as a Council Member At Large on the Nashville-Davidson Metropolitan Council.
Although elections in Nashville are nonpartisan, Barry, like nearly all elected officials in the city, is a Democrat. She is the first Metro mayor to have previously served on the Metro Council. In addition to being Nashville's first woman mayor, Barry is also the fourth mayor since 1991 of non-native Tennessean origin (the others being Phil Bredesen, Bill Purcell, and Karl Dean).
Barry was born on September 22, 1963 in Santa Ana, California. She grew up in Overland Park, Kansas. She earned a bachelor's degree from Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas and an MBA from the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
Barry spent several years as a specialist in business ethics and corporate responsibility for the multinational telecommunications firm Nortel Networks. From 2003 to 2012, Barry was vice president of ethics and compliance at Premier, Inc., a health-care group purchasing organization. She has also worked as Principal of Barry & Associates, an independent consulting organization to multinational corporations on issues dealing with business ethics and corporate social responsibility.
