Marissa 's Rise

Marissa Hagmeyer is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of NEAT Method, the luxury organizing brand known for transforming chaos into calm across North America. As the eldest of three children, Marissa’s natural leadership showed up early, designating her brother as janitor in her imaginary classroom just to keep things running smoothly. That early instinct for order and systems has defined her professional journey. With a background in design and marketing, she joined NEAT at its inception and helped scale it into a multifaceted business that includes a franchise network of 100+ owners, a best-selling line of over 150 custom-designed organizing products, and a thriving eCommerce platform. In 2020, she led the launch of NEAT’s exclusive product line, bringing nearly 15 years of organizing insights into beautifully functional home goods. After selling the company, Marissa and her co-founder made the bold move to buy it back, reaffirming their vision and belief in what they built.

Professional Superpower

Marissa is a master of operational excellence and product innovation. She’s successfully operationalized a multi-revenue stream business model from the ground up—developing everything from product to fulfillment systems to eCommerce infrastructure. As COO, she oversees product development, quality assurance, and franchise support, ensuring NEAT Method’s high standards are reflected across every touchpoint of the business. Her ability to think holistically while solving granular problems has earned her a reputation as a founder with both strategic vision and executional grit. She was recognized on Inc. Magazine’s Female Founder 500 list, and continues to empower NEAT’s boutique franchise owners with the tools, systems, and products they need to scale their own success.

Personal Superpower

Marissa is a problem solver at heart. She doesn’t rely on fancy degrees or perfect playbooks—she relies on persistence, intuition, and a no-nonsense approach to getting things done. Her creative eye for design is paired with a deep commitment to function, helping her turn organizing into a visually elevated, lifestyle-driven experience. Whether she’s designing new products or mentoring franchisees, she brings passion, resourcefulness, and an unwavering belief in the power of systems. She leads with calm confidence and fierce dedication, making those around her feel supported, empowered, and ready to grow.

What Drives Marissa

Marissa is driven by a desire to make beautifully organized living accessible, scalable, and empowering for everyone involved—from the homeowners she serves to the franchisees she mentors. She believes that organization is more than a service—it’s a path to clarity, confidence, and ownership, in both life and business. Her mission is to help others build the life and business they dream of—neatly, intentionally, and unapologetically.
