Colleagues describe her as "I could give many examples of how Marianne "activated change" at Kraft/Mondelez. But here is just one. Not long after Marianne joined Kraft, she told me over breakfast that she was convinced the company was missing a big oppty not targeting men. But -- she assured me -- she was working on it! One year later, she was in front of Senior Management discussing how major businesses could "man up." What's the trick, the formula, the secret? How does Marianne do it? Here's how Marianne Velonis works her magic: -- Doesn't accept the superficial -- goes deep on businesses she works on -- Is open and available -- within & outside the traditional 4 walls -- Breathes life into insights -- with a stories and images -- Has fun -- what's more fun than envisioning the future? That's it. No mystery. Just the workings of a Trends Muse." and "Marianne is an excellent strategic partner and I truly enjoyed (and looked forward to) working together on every project we shared. She quickly immersed herself in the McDonald’s brand and established herself, both internally and with the clients, as an expert in the categories she owned (burgers, moms, families, Ronald McDonald House Charities). In every brief she wrote it was clear she really dove into the problem, used innovative ways to uncover fresh insights, and brought the strategy to life in unexpected and inspiring ways. We could always count on her to be up on the latest trends and pop culture happenings, helping us find smart, strategic ways to apply them to the business. She also seems truly in her element during creative brainstorms and when designing and facilitating large cross-functional work sessions. Her smarts and vibrant “spark” meant clients adored her, creatives respected her, and I miss her!"
