Marcia Schenone established The Schenone Group after extensive experience as a senior manager in the engineering, construction and international shipping industry–most notably as vice president of administration, North America, for a $4 billion containerized shipping corporation with offices in 100 countries, and as corporate business manager of a $1.5 billion international engineering company.

Her extraordinary ability to analyze and sharpen business operations to work at their peak effectiveness was honed in those challenging, high-stakes environments. That expertise, along with a talent for conceptualizing and moving complex facilities projects and an unwavering loyalty to clients, form the core of The Schenone Group’s reputation for managing projects not only to success, but beyond expectations.
