Meet Anthony Marciniak!

Cohort Coordinator – Detroit, Michigan

After graduating from Western Michigan University and the University of Michigan with a BS/MS in Aeronautical Engineering, Anthony started his career as a design engineer working on satellite components and safety system products.  15 years into his career, he was invited to participate in Detroit’s inaugural CLA cohort and the transformation was immediate.  He was able to see his inherent strengths, articulate his mission and align his values with his faith to become the servant leader he aspires to be today.  During his progression into engineering leadership, Anthony found his passion for the development of people rather than the development of the product. 

This has provided the direction and vigor to shift his career into human resources.  He is currently the Director of Human Resources for a health and wellness software and coaching company.  Talk about a pivot!

In addition to his career and CLA Detroit, Anthony is a sport enthusiast in playing and watching.  Golf, softball, skiing, and any major sport, he will try, play, or watch.  He and his wife (another CLA alum) have been married for 8 years and currently have one son.

Who is a leader who inspires you?

One thing I have learned in my journey is that we are all leaders at some point in our lives, whether we know it or not.  A leader who is authentic to who they are, can bring out the best in those they lead, allow people to grow and meet their potential, and willing to sacrifice the spotlight for others to shine.
