Marguerite Crooks
Organizational Leadership | Sustainable Artist & Designer
|
HELLO, I BRING OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE LEADING TEAMS ACROSS UNIVERSITIES, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL INSTITUTIONS. I SPECIALIZE IN BUILDING STRONG ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURES, DEVELOPING TALENT, AND DRIVING STRATEGIC GROWTH. MY LEADERSHIP STYLE IS ROOTED IN CLARITY, COLLABORATION, AND A DEEP COMMITMENT TO CULTIVATING ENVIRONMENTS WHERE INDIVIDUALS AND TEAMS CAN THRIVE. THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, I’VE LED INITIATIVES IN HIRING, ONBOARDING, TRAINING, AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT—HELPING TEAMS NAVIGATE CHANGE, STRENGTHEN COMMUNICATION, AND DELIVER CONSISTENT RESULTS. I BRING NEARLY TWO DECADES OF HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE DESIGNING SYSTEMS AND WORKFLOWS THAT IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, INCREASE EFFICIENCY, AND ALIGN DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS WITH LONG-TERM GOALS. OUTSIDE THE OFFICE, I BRING A CREATIVE MINDSET TO LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND SUSTAINABLE GARDENING, BLENDING ARTISTRY AND INNOVATION IN WAYS THAT MIRROR MY APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP: THOUGHTFUL, ADAPTIVE, AND ALWAYS EVOLVING. MY BACKGROUND AS A FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE GRADUATE AND CHILDHOOD CANCER SURVIVOR HAS INSTILLED IN ME A STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE, RESILIENCE UNDER PRESSURE, AND A PASSION FOR HELPING OTHERS RISE TO THEIR POTENTIAL. WHETHER SCALING TEAMS, IMPROVING INTERNAL PROCESSES, OR LEADING CROSS-FUNCTIONAL INITIATIVES, I THRIVE IN ROLES WHERE I CAN DRIVE MEANINGFUL, MEASURABLE IMPACT THROUGH THOUGHTFUL LEADERSHIP AND OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE. *scroll down to navigate menu |
