our people

It takes an unusual combination of principles, dedication and above all humility to advise top managers on their highest-value issues. Providing advice that sheds new light on these issues requires creativity, energy and the courage to hold a view that is both original and challenging.

We find this unusual set of traits in all sorts of people, from all sorts of places. You would expect us to recruit at top universities, and we do, but we also hire experienced line managers and specialists.

Once people join Marakon, we teach them to apply and add to our intellectual capital and to develop the maturity and breadth of perspective required at the highest levels of well-managed companies. It takes time to develop world-class business advisors, but we accelerate the process by nurturing people through industry-leading training and through individually tailored coaching programs that connect every consultant with a leader of the firm.
