About Marna Wilber Schneid

I have always been entrepreneurial. It started back when I made coffee, bought donuts and sold them along the mile-long line of cars patiently waiting their turn to fill up on gasoline in the 1970s. My career has taken me to many start-up companies where I was among the first 10 employees or the first person in a new start-up position in a large established company seeking to progress and build something new. I like to build things.I am a highly effective, innovative, and forward-thinking marketing and communications professional and board advisor with a diverse industry background (Building Materials, Manufacturing, Consumer Tech, Start-ups, CPG, Agency Services) leading and supporting marketing and communications. My talent for assessing needs, identifying gaps, and maximizing opportunities has consistently enhanced bottom-line factors for clients and the organization. I am recognized as a collaborative communicator continually focused on building relationships and promoting consensus across business lines and employees to drive positive change, cohesive, comprehensive business practices, and enhanced employee engagement. I am driven by the challenge and reward that comes from resolving challenging and driving successful company images. I am seeking board opportunities to align my skills and passion with future-facing organizations where I can continue to hone my craft and play a critical role in advancing organizational objectives. I am further driven by the challenge and reward of working in entrepreneurial environments that empower me to leverage new opportunities to resolve key business issues. I am seeking opportunities to align my passion and skills with an organization that resonates their purpose and values in their offerings as well as day-to-day operations that positively impact their clients and community.

   Conscious Business Collaborative

   Apr 2020 — Present · CT, US

   Conscious Business Collaborative is a social advocacy organization with professional and student members. Its purpose is to engage, educate, and inspire business leaders at all stages in their career paths and professional development to operate more sustainably and align with others who are doing the same. Collaborating as change agents and difference-makers, we seek to positively impact how organizations and systems operate, building conscious cultures and communities while being responsible to all stakeholders. Our international group demonstrates living, breathing alternatives to traditional capitalism, championing innovators who create new ways to thrive and share prosperity while holding businesses more accountable. We find that by thinking and working this way we discover a renewed sense of purpose, increased employee engagement, and new strategies for business growth. Originally founded as a state Chapter of Conscious Capitalism International, in October 2022 our Board formally adopted the name Conscious Business Collaborative. This name better reflects the high value we place on our autonomy as financial stewards and thought leaders. We continue to be inspired by the work of Raj Sisodia, a co-founder of the international movement, who is an active participant in events with our Members.
