Marianne Prybyla: Office Manager
Trusted deliverer of the salty cheese bagels.
Meet... the gatekeeper. (And salty cheese bagel keeper.) In her own words, Marianne is here “to take care of the Thrillworks team and all of their clients!” (Her exclamation mark, not ours.) And... she delivers. “Office Manager,” of course, is just one of those titles. Really, it should be “Everything Manager,” or “Our Company Could Not Function Without You Manager,” because both would be more accurate. This particular Office Manager, for example, ran her own graphics company for 15 years. Client management? Dealing with billions of peripherals at once? Insuring that deadlines, timelines and budgets are met? Look no further. Marianne is another of those Thrillworkers who started on a contract, had her immense talents recognized immediately, and got snapped up fulltime.
Away from work, Marianne does the wife and mom thing, which she describes as “Awesome!” (Her exclamation mark, not ours.) And she also happens to be ridiculously, unabashedly, obsessively Ukrainian! (That exclamation mark is ours.) A true ambassador of her culture and heritage, Marianne crafts Ukrainian easter eggs, stained glass, beads, and pottery. Who knows, she may open another business yet. (At least she won’t be direct competition.)
