Mary founded Emerge Collaborative in 2020 and works with clients across industries to build a more inclusive and equitable workplace for people with disabilities. Prior to going external, she spent 13 years at Nike where she led the development of Nike’s first enterprise strategy for disability inclusion, guiding and integrating efforts across the organization to improve the consumer and employee experience for disabled people. She was also an embedded DEI resource within Nike’s workplace experience team.
Mary believes disability is part of the human condition and ableism harms everyone. If you’re interested in partnering, email:
