The Executive Team

  • Marcellus has crafted a unique approach to leadership grounded on a simple yet powerful principle: Lead with people, not through them. His journey spans over 30 years, weaving through Fortune 500 companies in industries such as Banking, Pharmaceuticals, Telecommunications, Finance, and Commercial Negotiations. His knack for communication even piqued the interest of the FBI, who once pursued him for a hostage negotiator role!

    A seasoned mentor, Marcellus has coached up to an impressive 1,300 professionals per year, passionately guiding the next generation of business leaders.

    As a lifelong learner, Marcellus balanced his professional commitments with pursuing an MBA from Purdue's respected Krannert School of Business. The knowledge he gained there continually helps him steer business leaders through ever-evolving market landscapes and complex decisions. He's adept at navigating challenges like remote working, fostering cross-generational leadership, and shaping a workspace where employees genuinely feel part of the solution.

    When the business day winds down, Marcellus switches gears to his other joys in life: his family and his love for driving. He shares life's ups and downs with his best friend and wife, Bethany, and their two delightful daughters, aged 25 and a lively 1-year-old! When not busy playing the doting dad, Marcellus indulges in the thrill of the NASCAR driving experience, a relaxing round of golf, or engaging audiences at speaking events.
