Marissa is an executive coach and leadership development expert who coaches high-achieving senior leaders in need of external perspective. Her career spans academia, consulting, and corporate leadership, giving her a well-rounded point of view on how leaders are groomed and supported for the future. She has designed executive education programs at Thunderbird School of Global Management and the University of Arizona, built large-scale experiential and simulation-based leadership programs with BTS (a global consulting firm), and led enterprise-wide talent and leadership strategies as Director of Global Leadership Development at Vanguard and Visa.
Through her firm, mFluence Coaching & Consulting, Marissa partners with leaders to translate insight into action—helping them adopt new mindsets, shift behaviors, and achieve measurable results in both their professional and personal lives. She measures success by her clients’ breakthroughs: the “aha” moments that lead to lasting change.
What sets Marissa apart is her ability to bring three lenses to every engagement: academic rigor (for proven, evidence-based science), external consulting expertise, and firsthand corporate experience developing senior leaders. She understands leadership theory and how it works in real organizational life when the rubber meets the road.
