Margaret's rise to the presidency of Denali was inevitable.
She had a paper route at age 10. During her teens she leased a drive-in restaurant and hired her brothers as soda jerks. And while managing a languishing retail complex fresh out of college, she discovered how customer engagement spurs sales.
Then Carlson Marketing discovered Margaret. Provided a global platform to practice what she calls "the Art of Serving," the College of St. Benedict graduate rocketed to SVP of Client Services; earned an MBA from the University of St. Thomas; completed the University of Minnesota's Executive Leadership Program; and became one of the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal's "Top 40 Under Forty."
Yet it's not just her professional accomplishments that inspire the Denali staff. Margaret's work ethic and focus are the stuff of legend; her commitment to volunteerism wins hearts; and her travels across six continents model the kick-ass use of vacation time.
