Kristy O’Hara
CEO
Kristy met her now husband as Industrial Engineering students at Georgia Tech. It was his dream to be an F-18 Pilot in the Navy and her dream to have a successful career. In 2016 when she moved to Virginia Beach, she brought her job as an IT Consultant with her. She has brought that career – over the course of 5 years and multiple promotions – around the world to include an international duty station in Iwakuni, Japan. She has set-out to bring that same career flexibility and growth to military spouses across the globe by proving time and time again that military spouses are not only dependents of their husband/wife as military terminology might indicate, but independent, adaptive thinkers that are valuable additions to any organization!

Meg Wilson
COO
Meg met her husband through Kristy while he was going through flight school in Kingsville, TX. His aspirations in the military meant a lot of uncertainty and her employer at the time did not see the value in taking that risk. So, upon moving to Virginia Beach, Meg started from scratch to find a new career. Substitute teaching proved to be the only job that embraced military spouses but there was no challenge, no growth and of course, no taking it with you when we eventually moved. Through hard work and a lot of networking, she found a remote position at a company that values the unique qualities military spouses have and provides growth and flexibility for a fulfilling career. Meg hopes to champion other military spouses that can take the remote workforce by storm.
About Mutually Dependent
MILITARY SPOUSE STAFFING SERVICE
The military refers to spouses as “dependents” and quite frankly, we didn’t marry our husbands for their money. They are both really great (and supportive) guys! As military spouses, we have seen first-hand how this incredibly educated, effective, and adaptable talent-pool is underemployed at a pre-COVID rate of 90%. We are set out to make sure that all military spouses have the professional opportunities that they have earned. Whether it is in sales and marketing, content creation, or data entry, we are here to give businesses access to untapped, flexible talent that is more effective than overseas solutions and more affordable than the current domestic market. We have a community of exceptional military spouse talent ready to serve start-ups to enterprises while their spouses serve our country!

- Kristy and Meg
Kristy and Meg have been the best of friends for over a decade. They were sorority sisters, bridesmaids in each other’s wedding, and their husbands were even flight school roommates! Although, they have very different experiences as military spouse professionals. Kristy found a supportive employer early on who gave her the opportunity to work remotely upon relocating due to her husband’s orders. Meg was a high performer at a Silicon Valley tech giant and was let go as soon as they found out she would need to relocate due to her upcoming nuptials. Their two different paths make them a force to finally put a dent in the unemployment and underemployment of military spouses.
