Tampa, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Chamber proudly announced the winner of the 2023 Dottie Berger MacKinnon Woman of Influence Award is Marie Chinnici-Everitt, Managing Director and Chief Marketing Officer of Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation. DTCC is the financial services company at the center of global trading activity.
A trailblazer in the financial services and fintech sectors, Marie oversees the corporate image, brand and positioning of DTCC, and oversees all business and support functions in Florida. “Marie has been a member of the Tampa Bay community for ten years and her service and volunteer work have had a significant impact on the lives and well-being of countless people,” said Colleen Chappell, her nominator and the 2018 recipient of the Dottie Berger MacKinnon Woman of Influence Award. “She has a personal passion for providing platforms for young leaders and young women to make gains in their careers, as well as advancing efforts to support diversity, equity and inclusion.”
“Marie is one of those leaders who get involved and works hard to make the Tampa Bay region a great place to live and work,” said Bob Rohrlack, President & CEO of the Tampa Bay Chamber, where Marie has served as a mentor to young professionals in the Emerging Leaders program since 2017. “Her leadership and its impact have helped many organizations thrive and succeed, including our own Chamber.” Over the years, Marie has also devoted countless volunteer hours to community organizations including Feeding Tampa Bay, University of Tampa Board of Trustees, and the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council.
The Woman of Influence Award pays tribute to an individual who exemplifies outstanding professional values; demonstrates the ability to go above and beyond the normal expectations of a leader; and serves as an inspiration to the community. A 17-year tradition, and closely guarded secret until the announcement is made at the annual Woman of Influence event, the Chamber surprised Marie March 24th in front of a sold-out crowd of 600+ guests at the Hilton Downtown Tampa.
The 2023 Woman of Influence event featured keynote speaker Dr. Shirley Davis, President & CEO of SDS Global Enterprises, Inc. – a recognized expert on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and changing needs in a global workforce.
