Bio
Brendan Moore
I liked working with Marion so much, I've done it twice. You can give her chaos and she'll bring order. She's made every team I've been on more efficient, and works well with stakeholders to see all sides of a situation before trying to implement a solution.
Ruta Kulbis
Marion has deep skills in agile and project management. We worked together on a solution for a retailer reinventing itself via a digital marketing transformation. Marion was knowledgeable, organized and efficient. She has worked on a broad range of digital and marketing challenges and thus has solid instincts in advancing the work forward. Marion collaborates well with an energy and positive attitude that makes it a pleasure to collaborate with her. I’d welcome the opportunity to work together again.
