Leah Marks, the Director of Operations at Madrivo, takes the spotlight at LinkUnite V in our latest interview release. When we spoke she had just wrapped up a presentation, where she dove into what it really means to own your seat at the table. In our interview, she talks about progress sometimes being one percent at a time, and why those small steps matter just as much as the big wins. With a room full of women she describes as “absolute powerhouses,” Leah shares why empowerment isn’t just a theme for the event, but a driving force in her own leadership style.
She also reflects on Madrivo’s commitment to LinkUnite and what finally pulled her away from her laptop long enough to join this year’s retreat. For Leah, the value is simple: genuine connection. She explains how deceptively important it is in an industry built on relationships, and why spaces like this help unlock opportunities that don’t always surface in day-to-day work.
Looking forward, she talks about the fast-shifting nature of digital marketing, from AI’s expanding role to the mindset shifts required to keep pace. Her take? The people who will thrive are the ones who can move quickly, focus deliberately, and innovate without waiting for permission.
She ends the interview with the best advice she’s received in her career thus far: stay curious and never stop asking questions, because curiosity, as she puts it, is the foundation of every kind of success you achieve.
