About our Guest:

A seasoned business leader, Marques’s business career is shaped by the perspectives and lived experiences gained from his journey to becoming an unlikely NFL standout.

Marques’s journey from small school prospect through a decade-long NFL career taught him how success has to be earned everyday, and sustaining it at the highest level requires humility that allows you to be an active learner, curiosity to explore new ways to unlock value, and confidence built on preparation and repetition.

This philosophy is the foundation of Marques’s post-football journey as an entrepreneur, educator, financial advisor, and executive coach and strategic consultant for dozens of companies – startups to Fortune 100. 

His diverse path is connected by the vision to empower underserved and underestimated communities, helping them envision and achieve beyond their current limitations. 

CVP represents an opportunity for Marques to leverage his passion, skills, influence, and access to build a firm with the potential to build a legacy of doing well and good, by creating access to wealth building opportunities to a more diverse group of investors.
