Marisa EckbergFounder & CEO, Grey Owl HR

Marisa Eckberg is a seasoned HR professional with nearly two decades of experience managing a full spectrum of HR programs, services and functions.  Marisa has supported countless small businesses spanning various industries, including healthcare, property management, hospitality, retail, restaurant and call centers, to name a few. She's not just an expert—she's the Founder and CEO of Grey Owl HR, recently voted Best HR Company in all of Denton County for 2023.

Marisa thrives as a trusted business leader, partner and consultant, passionate about employee relations, recruitment and retention, onboarding programs, compensation planning, learning and development, engagement, recognition, organizational culture, leadership, and compliance. Armed with a BBA in Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior from the University of North Texas, she also holds certifications from both the Human Resources Certification Institute (PHR) and the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM-CP).

When not immersed in educating clients on proper documentation, handbook editing, compensation strategies, investigations, or the labyrinth of employment laws, you'll find Marisa on the sidelines cheering on her son's football, and lacrosse teams, running the dugout and the walk-up songs at her daughter's softball games, trying to figure out how to speak "teenager", or questing for her next round of caffeine.
