Business Executive and Diversity Officer

About Me

I’m Margenett (Mar je nay). I help companies transform their business by embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion across core people, business, and market systems.

I am a business executive and diversity officer living in the New York City area. I have been the Chief Inclusion & Diversity Officer for Yahoo! and Golin and the Chief Business Relevance, Inclusion, and Equity Officer for Interpublic Group's DXTRA (the division with Weber Shandwick, Golin, Jack Morton, Octagon, and Future Brands).

I enjoy the theater, tennis, biking, a strong, deep massage, and time with old and new friends. Mother of teenager, wife of a terrific husband, companion to a very bossy fur-teenager.

One of my life philosophies: Row, Row, row your boat gently down the stream, life is but a dream.

Testimonials
...And then there are those who make us better by an order of magnitude and those people are the rarest of the rare. You are one of those people. You helped us see things differently, speak differently and act differently because of your professional and lived experiences and your thoughtful and inclusive way of leadership. We are a different agency today than we were when you first joined us....I am jealous of the next organization who is going to be the beneficiary of your gifts...
