She brings considerable experience to her Immersion Lab initiatives having worked with hundreds of business leaders and companies both in Canada and the United States over the last 19 years.  Marysia is the principal of Velocity Partnerships which uses it's Inside Out BrandingTM framework to enable her clients to better diagnose their core challenges,  create their ‘innovation vision’, think more strategically, and take more thoughtful action.   The result is her clients can manifest opportunities in new and creative ways and lead the change needed to create breakthrough results with greater velocity.
