Monika has spent the last two decades honing a unique blend of strategic and creative thinking that helps business leaders uncover brand truths. She’s successfully led countless brand campaigns, is passionate about women’s markets and thrives on mentoring women in business. She’s a UC Berkeley grad, artist, yogi, pianist and an ongoing student of the intersections between creativity and mindfulness practices in both work and life.
Marian’s strategic insights stem from a genuine curiosity about people and culture. Her anthropological mindset (along with a BA from Wellesley, an MBA from UCLA, and over 20 years of experience) has helped her build and shape brands for early-stage start-ups and Fortune 500 companies. Having benefited from the wisdom of great mentors throughout her life, she is especially enthusiastic about championing young women in their educations and careers.
