ABOUT TAVORISE K. MARKS
I am a firm believer in purposeful leadership, sustainable performance, and fostering an organizational cultural environment of diversity and inclusion powered by opportunity. I believe in being focused on simplicity, accountability, and executional excellence. I am a policy-driven, data-driven, meticulous, and effective leader with 15+ years of broad experience leading teams of professionals, to include serving in the military as a United States Army Officer (Military Police & Military Intelligence) with a Top Secret SCI security clearance. I’ve honed the ability to align teams to work towards common goals and KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators). I take a consultative approach and understand that communication is critical to obtaining alignment. That’s why I pride myself on being able to flex to fit other’s communication styles as a means to be more effective in fast paced environments with cross-functioning teams. It works. My career has been dedicated to public service and serving people, whether for the federal government, state government, private sector, or non-profits. This passion and drive for service has kept me busy in my community as well, where I have served on boards and commissions, to include running for the Virginia House of Delegates in 2019 and Congress in 2022. I was even honored as the \"Citizen of the Year\" by a national organization in 2018. My commitment to my career and serving my community can be difficult to juggle at times, but I always find it rewarding.
