I had the chance to work closely with Marie at ManoMano, and she is someone I truly enjoyed working with. What stands out most is her mindset: she never settles for “good enough”. Marie is always looking for what else can be done, how to go one step further, and how to raise the bar, not because she wants visibility for herself, but because she genuinely cares about the quality of the work and the impact it can have. As a manager, Marie was clearly one of the strongest people leaders at ManoMano. She was consistently ranked among the top managers in the company in 360 feedback, which reflects the trust she built with her team and the way people enjoyed working with her. Another thing that makes Marie stand out is her strong strategic mindset. She sees the bigger picture, connects the dots quickly, and still remains very close to execution. Overall, Marie combines ambition, strategic thinking, strong people leadership, and a real ability to make things happen. I would be very happy to work with her again.
