Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. ​​- Margaret Wheatley

She has the experience, savvy and skills to take even the most disorganized of projects and get them well-regimented and on-track. Almost despite how deftly she puts forward analytical and quantitative solutions, Marin is truly an artist. This skillset informs her immense ability to craft new solutions, build bridges between people and break outside the box and apply creativity to the world. There isn't an organization that couldn't benefit from Marin's tremendous leadership, irrepressible excitement and transformative skills."

"Highly recommend Marin Hood! She’s got a wealth of experience with different types of nonprofit (and for-profit) organizations and ways of working, plus a mountain of curiosity, empathy, and professionalism in the way she approaches her clients, colleagues and other partners. Marin is an order-bringer, first spotting a need and then creatively devising structure and processes to solve persistent problems. She’s a rare mix of artist/creative and architect, and brings those two ways of perceiving together with an extremely thoughtful perspective on holistic organizational development and change management. If you get a chance to work with Marin — take it."

"I had the pleasure of working with Marin at the Sierra Club. She truly stands out in her expertise in relationship management, consulting, change management, program design, process improvement, and digital transformation.

In addition to her professional skills, Marin genuinely cares about her colleagues and clients. She fosters a collaborative and supportive environment, making her a pleasure to work with. She also excels in guiding and supporting clients, and has a natural talent for coaching and mentoring. Her perceptive nature and strong communication skills shine when clients are learning new skills or facing urgent situations. Marin effortlessly projects both energy and calm at the same time.

An example that highlights her capabilities was her approach to streamlining the creation of donation forms for chapters. Initially a complex and bureaucratic task, Marin identified the chapters' needs and areas for improvement, offered to lead the project to solve the problem, and collaborated seamlessly across teams to find the best solution. Her efforts resolved a major pain point and resulted in improved process efficiency and enhanced donation tracking. Through her strong relationships, skilled problem-solving, and thoughtful change management, she made a significant impact that could be seen in both the objective results and the satisfaction of all stakeholders in the solution and process.

Marin would be a valuable asset to any organization. Her dedication, skillset, and the human touch she brings to her work make her an excellent addition to strategic teams. Her remarkable talents and commitment to ongoing learning will lead her to make a significant impact wherever she goes.​"
