As a long-time advocate of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Marian has made smart use of her global platform to advance positive change. Notably, she been active in two PMI Employee Resource Groups: EMBRACE Global (focused on racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity) and the Women’s Inspiration Network (WIN). One of her roles within these groups has been hosting and serving as a panelist on several company-wide webcasts devoted to DEI issues, including in November 2020 an EMBRACE Global Inclusive Conversations event ‘Delivering on Race Delivers Results’. At the company’s Women Who Lead event, Marian and three other female members of the Senior Management Team discussed their personal journeys, offered advice, and shared their visions for gender equity and diversity. Another means by which Marian promotes the advancement of women in business is through regular local and international bylines, interviews and columns for Forbes and Medium, offering her insights and guidance for the next generation.
