Mary Hayes
Strategic Partnership Executive
Loyal & Engaged
Mary has been working in market research since 2020. She ran the L&E market research facility in Austin, Texas, before trying her hand at everything from recruiting participants for studies, to screener programming, and then into marketing. She served as a project manager for a market research consulting firm before becoming Strategic Partnership Executive at L&E. Her success in market research is due in part to her penchant for client relations and impeccable organizational skills.
Mary has been training in aerial silks since 2013 and is her best self when 15 feet off the ground and wrapped in fabric. She also has her own Etsy shop selling slouchy knit hats. Mary enjoys doing any activity that is outdoors and near (or in) a body of water, with her husband, daughter, and their dogs.
