About Mary Boren Associates

Mary Boren has worked in the leadership and organizational development field for fifteen years. Her clients have included Fortune 500 companies in Europe as well as North and South America in widely diverging fields such as chemicals, microelectronics, financial services, insurance, and pharmaceuticals.

Mary's experience includes working internally for four years with Glaxo Wellcome, later GlaxoSmithKline, a world leader in pharmaceuticals. There, she served as Director of Organization Effectiveness for Research Worldwide and as the Leadership Consultant in Worldwide Human Resources. Her work included consulting with the global R&D executive teams, aligning HR strategy with the Business strategy and, most recently, providing coaching to the top 115 global leaders of GlaxoSmithKline.

Prior to GlaxoSmithKline, Mary owned a consulting practice and collaborated with other consultants and training organizations with an emphasis on team development, negotiations training, sales training, and executive coaching. Before consulting, she founded, expanded, and successfully sold a high speed printing operation with five locations doing business in two states over a period of 11 years. These years gave Mary an intimate understanding of the realities of operating a company.

Mary's strengths as a consultant come from her integrated understanding of business issues and her unusual perceptiveness and ability to provide challenging feedback in a way that can be heard. Additionally, her ability to mold turnaround teams and leaders in transition, plus her relentless commitment to the growth of individuals and the effectiveness of the organizational system, make Mary a valuable and dynamic resource for any organization.

Mary has a Masters in Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Nebraska.
