More recently she founded LTF Partners, a strategy firm supporting businesses with leadership, strategy, and deal execution particularly in emerging and frontier markets.

She led the strategic review of the Nigerian Pipe Coating industry with a £35million deal and enabled a French company to secure a first-mover advantage in the Middle Eastern Aviation Services market in a deal worth €20million. Her work also saw her become an Advisory Board Member at Carbon Waters and the winner of the Women’s Business Initiative Ambition Awards 2014. 

As a speaker, Marianne is both highly respected and sought after. She boasts Nissan, UBS, Bombardier, and CPA Australia as some of the world-leading businesses that have benefited from her leadership expertise. Her talks focus on the culture of leadership, transformational leadership as well as personal and business change.
