Marisol Delbrey

I studied philosophy because I wanted to understand how systems of reasoning actually work, the logic underneath decisions, arguments, and institutions. That same instinct turned out to apply just as well to how organizations run.

I paired that with a CS minor at Chapman University, then spent a year as an ML/AI Fellow through a competitive UCLA and Cornell program, selected from over 1,500 applicants. I built applied machine learning skills there, and learned how to translate complex model output into something a non-technical stakeholder could actually use and trust.

Before Talley, I came at the same underlying question from a few different angles: how do you make complex systems legible and accountable? That meant operational inefficiencies in healthcare data workflows at Kaiser Permanente, a data-backed strategy that placed in the top 0.05% at Accenture's Innovation Challenge, and decades of California water data modeled as a research assistant at Chapman's Fowler School of Engineering.

Now, as PMO Lead at Talley LLP, I bring all of that together. Reporting directly to the COO, I build the reporting infrastructure, CRM systems, and automation that a professional services firm actually runs on, and I direct associate-level support to help scale that delivery.
