Meet Marion

I've moved between worlds throughout my career. Creative and commercial. Corporate and personal mentoring. Theatrical and analytical. Western and Asian. Translation is my superpower, helping each world understand the other more clearly.

Across 25+ years, I've worked with organisations including Deloitte, P&G, Revlon, Allergan Aesthetics/BOTOX, Ogilvy & WPP (on 50+ client brands). I've lived and worked in eight countries. I hold a Master's Degree in International Marketing from the University of Technology Sydney and have spent a lifetime studying communication, persuasion and human connection, including directing and performing in musical theatre since the age of 13.

Clients often tell me I bring something beyond strategy. Energy. Empathy. Commercial honesty. And an unwavering belief in their potential. I care deeply about helping people feel genuinely confident in their story and communicate it in a way others cannot ignore.

Outside business, I'm also a canine behaviourist and have helped rescue dogs rebuild confidence for adoption. Dogs are exceptional communicators and they respond to tone, energy and intent long before words. Honestly, if more businesses communicated with the clarity of a dog asking for dinner, boardrooms would contain a lot less nonsense!

If you're ready to communicate your value more clearly, pitch with greater confidence and stop being overlooked, I'm ready to bring the spark, strategy and confidence to help you grow.
