Marie Brooks

DIRECTOR, PEOPLE & CULTURE | CRUISE DIRECTOR | CROONER

Inspired by a Caribbean cruise with her family, DC-area native Marie Brooks is hoping to one day take a world cruise, with stops on all seven continents. Meanwhile, there’s plenty of work to be done.

Policies, processes, procedures. Employee relations, engagement, retention. Strategic planning, training, coaching. Organizational development and more. Anything and everything to keep Montage an inclusive, dynamic, and effective workplace where people can thrive.

It’s a big job, but the multifaceted Marie handles it with humor and empathy. Her twins provide all the motivation she needs. It’s hard to tell exactly where Marie’s natural drive and optimism leave off and the coffee, Pepsi, and candy kick in. But after work, she has energy left for volunteering, working with her church and sorority—and singing.
