“Use your voice and don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith”
Every day brings something different for Marielle Wilson. An executive leader at Eastlink, she lends a strong and guiding voice to many of the company’s critical activities.
This May, Marielle will celebrate a decade working with Eastlink. As she reflects on what has kept her engaged these past 10 years, she says without hesitation that collaboration and teamwork have been essential to her continued interest and success. She is energized by working in an environment that encourages her to voice her thoughts and opinions while drawing from the valuable insights of others.
Coming from a family who has uplifted and championed her to be strong and independent, Marielle credits her mom, dad and sister all of whom have inspired her work ethic and resilience.
When it comes to next steps, she recognizes that few people if any ever feel 100% ready for what’s next but it’s essential, especially as a woman, to not hold back and take a leap of faith when new opportunities arise. She says that being confident in yourself and your abilities will outshine your inner critic's doubts. Sage advice.
A valued, strategic thinker, Marielle leads those around her with confidence and wisdom - characteristics to be celebrated not only on International Women’s Day but every day.
