While her education includes a Finance degree with honors, an MBA and a law degree, Mari feels she gained most of her skills from being raised as a third generation entrepreneur. Here she learned how much like a family small business is; early stage leaders mixing management tools with parenting techniques to encourage company growth. Here is where she gained a comprehensive understanding of how a company lives and grows, how important values are, and how to determine the “natural fit” products, values and company culture for the market.
