The Vision Behind Your Growth Partners
For over 30 years, Mary has been the bridge between brilliant ideas and breakthrough execution—helping Microsoft become a global customer marketing powerhouse, turning eBay into a social media trailblazer, helping Facebook create a marketing culture to scale. Her secret? The ability to listen to complex challenges and see through to the essence of what needs to get done.
But Mary discovered something most agencies miss: The magic isn't about individual brilliance. It's about creating environments where intuition flourishes into ideas that get executed well.
That's why she assembled IEC—not just as another consultancy, but as a carefully curated team of operators who share her vision for transforming growth through trust, accountability, and deep relationships.
Because the right people don't just deliver outcomes—they transform how your organization thinks about growth.
Meet the Architect: Mary Gilbert
Mary's journey began in Silicon Valley in 1989, when independent agencies were scrambling for a foothold in the new world of technology marketing. She learned that personal accountability and agency were paramount—because they were just a handful of people hungry for more, building something significant.
"The magic in those rooms wasn't about my brilliance," Mary reflects. "It was about my ability to listen to ideas and hold space for conversation that produces the next forward movement into the future."
Over three decades, Mary has navigated the most complex growth challenges alongside founders and CMOs at companies like:
Microsoft: Built global customer marketing powerhouse
eBay: Pioneer in social media marketing
Facebook: Scaled marketing culture through hypergrowth
Pentair: Transformed industrial unknown to consumer favorite
Mary's Philosophy: "The conditions for succeeding through complexity and change must be cultivated right alongside marketing capabilities. Trust, accountability, authenticity, and vulnerability are the new superpowers that teams need to truly connect with audiences."
This philosophy became the foundation for IEC—a place where people can grow as humans, marketers, cultural architects, and leaders. Not just an agency, but a consulting firm with a twist: a true agent of change.

More Than Metrics - Transformation That Lasts
Yes, we deliver measurable outcomes: better pipeline quality, shorter sales cycles, extended runway. But what our clients remember most is how it felt to work with us.
What founders tell us:
“For the first time in two years, I felt like someone really understood what we were trying to build—and knew how to get us there.”
“The IEC team didn’t just fix our GTM problems. They made our entire organization stronger and more aligned.”
“Working with IEC reminded me why I started this company in the first place. They brought back the excitement of building something meaningful.”
Because that's what happens when the right people show up with the right expertise at exactly the right moment. It's not just business transformation—it's personal transformation too.

Perfectly Placed for Your Unique PROJECT
Beyond Meeting Goals—Human Impact That Lasts
Every IEC engagement is different because every scale-up is different. Your scale-up challenges aren't the same as another company's obstacles. Your team culture, market position, and growth trajectory are uniquely yours.
That's why we don't deploy one-size-fits-all teams. Instead, we thoughtfully match operators based on:
Stage-specific expertise
The exact challenges you're facing right now
Industry knowledge
Deep understanding of your market dynamics
Cultural Fit
People who amplify your teams’s strengths
Skill complementarity
Covering every angle without overlap or gaps
The result?
A team that doesn't just work for you—they work with you, embedding seamlessly into your organization while bringing world-class expertise.
Let’s build a better future
Your growth challenges aren't just about strategy—they're about having the right people execute at the right moments. Our team doesn't just consult; we embed, accelerate, and transform how your entire organization approaches growth.
