About Marissa Hansens

I’m a results-driven professional with 7+ years of experience leading teams, managing initiatives, and driving outcomes through strategic thinking and cross-functional collaboration. I’m especially drawn to roles that sit at the intersection of people, process, and execution—solving problems, improving workflows, and helping teams operate more effectively.Since joining NAVEX in May 2022, I’ve built and managed territories across Small Market and Mid-Market, consistently delivering strong results while navigating complex stakeholder needs and evolving priorities. After successfully managing a Small Market Farmer Territory, I was promoted to Mid-Market in early 2025, where I continued to perform at a high level.Before moving into SaaS and compliance technology, I spent six years in retail leadership roles, developing a strong foundation in communication, adaptability, and people management—skills that translate directly to coordinating work, aligning teams, and driving execution in fast-paced environments.I recently earned the Google Coursera Project Management Certificate, strengthening my ability to scope work, manage timelines, mitigate risk, and collaborate cross-functionally to move initiatives forward.I’m actively building toward a project management career and enjoy connecting with others who are passionate about thoughtful execution, continuous improvement, and growth.
