Marie Hartman

Marie loves a good challenge and solving them is her sweet spot. First, she breaks what others see as insurmountable obstacles into manageable chunks. Then, she dedicates herself to achieving big, hairy, audacious goals. As one of the visionaries behind Hartman Executive Advisors, Marie and her husband, Dave, already knew back in 2004 what is now evident: technology can be a game-changer for business. Together, they took on a challenge that would have an industry-changing outcome: proving that having the right technology leaders within the C-Suite can drive organizational success, have a positive net effect on a company’s bottom line and improve customer experiences. 

With a lifelong passion for the nonprofit sector, Marie brings deep empathy and operational insight to her role as Hartman’s managing director for the nonprofit and SLED industries. She recognizes the unique challenges mission-driven organizations face, understanding that some nonprofits have more complex business models than for profit organizations.  Marie and her team work with the C-Suite to identify their value streams.  Together they create the business case for where their combined resources can enable efficiency or revenue diversification strategies.  Marie understands that today’s business leaders want offensive and defensive strategies to achieve their goals.  Marie leads a team that helps human services organizations, associations, social enterprises, state and local industries, and K-12 and higher education institutions solidify their IT operations to effectively serve their stakeholders and meet their objectives. Known for her customer-first mindset, she is a trusted partner who fosters collaboration and champions her clients’ success at every step.  

Marie is as equally goal-driven in her personal life as she is in business, focusing on unique experiences that challenge her and get her out of her comfort zone. She’s always up for an adventure, and enjoys traveling both near and far, often bringing family and friends along to make new memories.
