Innergy was founded out of a passion for creating sustainably high-performing businesses driven to achieve goals while living up to cultural values along the path to realizing a worthwhile vision and purpose. These businesses purposefully shape and develop a leadership culture that inspires continuous growth into higher levels of service, collaboration, and performance as a cultural way of life.

​

Mary Beth dedicated her 27+ year career to researching and applying a sustainable business approach. She studied a broad array of business and leadership models while working on her Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership from Regent University. She was fortunate to have a special teacher during her master’s study – Jay Gary.  Jay Gary introduced Mary Beth to the stakeholder model for business along with theories of human development including the work of philosopher Ken Wilber, Spiral Dynamics, Robert Kegan, and the field of future studies. Mary Beth's master's culmination project drew from these scholars along with the wisdom traditions. Her culmination paper was titled, Creating Sustainable Life-Giving Organizations.

​

Mary Beth applied people-centered business principles to a number of executive level roles including leading strategy and marketing for Maritz Performance Improvement Company, and spearheading the creation of Organization and People Potential for Maritz Inc. focused on organization and leadership development. Her culminating role at Maritz was the founding and creation of The Maritz Institute focused on unleashing human potential through the design of people-centered business practices. Mary Beth drove an innovative approach to experience design by bringing together two leading fields, the neuroscience of human behavior together with the field of design thinking.

​

In 2015, Mary Beth decided to change gears from being a corporate executive to being an entrepreneur focused on Innergy, a business consultancy, as her full-time work. Her mission is to partner with executives committed to taking their business to the highest levels of performance and trust through a culture of leaders at every level of the organization.
