“I knew Haley was going to be a superstar from the day I hired her. I asked her what she wanted to be, and she said she wanted my job. 12 years later, she is knocking on that very door,” notes CEO Louis Messina. “We want MTG to have a big presence in Nashville, and I can’t think of anyone better to lead the way.”
