About Merritt

I have approached my entire career with the mission of providing memorable, over-the-top customer service while working alongside other professionals who have the same service oriented goals. My secondary goal has always been to have a lot of fun during the process. My fabulous team puts these goals within reach for me each and every day. In business and in life, I firmly believe that all things are cumulative. My team and I made the decision many years ago that OrthoBanc - and now OrthoFi - would become known as a leader in customer service and that we would always strive to uphold the highest standards of ethics and compassion. This has proven to be the right choice every single time.BIO:Marla is the VP of Strategic Partnerships for OrthoFi where she coordinates a broad range of company growth initiatives through strategic affiliations. Marla is known for her passionate and high-energy approach to leadership, marketing, and relationships with customers and partners. Marla joined OrthoFi’s Executive Leadership Team in 2020. Prior to joining OrthoFi, Marla was CMO for OrthoBanc LLC where she lead the marketing, sales, training, and customer support teams. During her tenure there, OrthoBanc received 5 consecutive mentions on the Inc Fastest Growing Companies list and Marla won both the Exhibitor Magazines Sizzle award and the coveted Tradeshow Marketing All-Star award for her creativity in creating memorable exhibit spaces for industry meetings. Marla takes every opportunity to empower those around her and continually looks for ways to improve herself. Marla has raised 4 daughters and has 5 grandkids. She enjoys traveling with her husband and game nights with family and friends.
