Mariette’s bio (because we often want to know the credentials)

At Brilliance Inside, I guide leaders to tap into the unique, inherent “brilliance” within themselves and their teams, so that they can engage in the true metamorphosis of their potential into the world’s most needed solutions.  After 20 years in business, I was called to bring this same expertise to prison.  In October 2017, I founded a nonprofit to help heal society’s cycle of violence by first transforming prison from being strictly a container of violence to a creator of peace.  This started with the organization of TEDxDonovanCorrectional, which received the unprecedented Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 100 and became the 2nd recurring TEDx event in a US prison.

During my 20 years in business, I developed cutting-edge technologies for world-scale problems, such as a cancer-detecting medical device in Paris, d.light’s solar lanterns for rural residents without electricity in India and a new augmented reality technology at HP, Inc.  I also grew up intertwined in the creation and expansion of my family’s wine businesses, starting at the ripe age of 6.

I chose to major in materials engineering and economics at Brown University and then to receive a Berkeley MBA.  As a Rotary Peace Fellow (3% acceptance rate), I spent early 2020 in Thailand, validating the seven keys to peaceful collaborations within boardrooms, prisons and ourselves.

Finally, I am a true global citizen:  born in France, I’ve lived on four continents and have explored some of the most remote corners of our world.

Mariette’s vision

A person has brilliance; so does a family, a business, a team, a nation...  In our brilliance, we become unstoppable and the real-world solution to our most pressing needs.

My vision is to make this our individual and collective reality.

Mission statement

I provide the safe space and tools of growth, communication and co-creation to become our most powerful, productive, prosperous, transformational selves – individually and collectively – by

• Developing the mindset of brilliance

• Becoming who we were always meant to be

• Bridging the misalignments and harmonizing the conflicts

• Bringing our brightest, most meaningful contribution to the world

Together, we become our brilliance and “future-form” ourselves, our organizations and the world around us into this brilliance, instead of short-term problem-fixing.
