Annie Marks is an Executive Advisor for Crenshaw Associates with over 20 years of experience in executive development, organizational design, and change management. She helps executives optimize the most critical components of their leadership success, including the ability to communicate, collaborate, make tough decisions, grow an organization, and effect change. She has advised senior leaders across multiple industries and supported organizations experiencing disruption and transformation, including rapid growth, restructurings, turnarounds, and culture changes.

Previously, Annie was a consultant with Arthur Andersen’s Business Consulting in their Strategy, Organization, and People Practice where she oversaw multiple large-scale change management teams on projects involving the implementation of new technologies, structures, and strategies. She also worked as a consultant with Monitor Group (now part of Deloitte) as part of a small team applying family systems theory to help senior leadership teams.

Annie is adept at working with individuals and teams to uncover important and conflicting assumptions that can block learning and change. She specializes in helping groups and executives function effectively when faced with important, multi-layered decisions, complex authority structures, competing interests and interpersonal / group dynamics. With a two-year certificate in organizational dynamics in a psychoanalytic training program, she helps build awareness of underlying dynamics to help her clients make the most impact. Annie guides leaders on strategies to enhance their executive presence and elevate their communications and performance during their most high-stakes leadership moments.
