Person

What’s Marinou really like? First, ask her if she founded her consulting practice so she could be her own boss. She’d say “no.”

“If you have a strong sense of commitment, you always have a boss. That simple, ” is her response. “Clients have nearly 24/7 access.”

Her style? Energetic, creative, animated, and direct. Quite decisive and colorful.

What can you expect? Expect her to simplify problems swiftly, drive initiatives effectively, and create structure to achieve objectives or streamline operations rapidly. Expect to see a quick, logical mind. But expect her to say she finds her greatest rewards in mentoring others.

Her more unique qualities? Vision and a keen visceral sense. She feels people and markets. She knows what consumers are likely to use…and not use. What businesses need…and don’t need. She successfully senses economic data, market drivers, and what it takes for markets to digest trends.

Her passions? The future and a better life for all. A “front lines of consumerism” background poured into an instant passion for technology early, and she got involved. She sees technology's pragmatic possibilities.

Personally? Coupled with her professional passions are those for art, the outdoors, and humanity. Marinou has served on non-profit boards, walked 60 miles for a cure to cancer, among a myriad of other things.  She’d be happy to tell you about them.
