Mary Hunter

Mary brings more than 20 years of experience in qualitative and quantitative research methods to the Assessment and Analytics team at The Kaleidoscope Group.

Mary started her career at a global market research company specializing in the US multicultural consumer market, as she is bilingual in Spanish and has expertise in Latin American cultures.

She helps lead clients through DEI assessments, applying many of these practices and solutions to help them make data-driven decisions about DEI at their organizations.
