Marian Pierre is CEO and founder of CGI Protects. During her 17 years as CEO of CGI Protects, Ms. Pierre has helped transform the company from a local guard services company to a security technology and services company.
At its height, Peirre's company employed more than 1,500 employees throughout the country. Then Hurricane Katrina struck, and in the devastating storm she lost her home, and suffered catastrophic business losses.
Determined to persevere against insurmountable odds, Peirre began rebuilding her company. Through her guidance, CGI Protects has rebounded after Hurricane Katrina to over 300 employees. Watch her interview at AMEX OPEN forum where she describes her experience after the storm: Video

Defying Her Age
Marian Pierre is a beautiful woman inside and out at the age of 63. She runs her own company but still is devoted to her grandchildren, church and community. She contributes her younger looks to healthy living, exercising three days a week, and drinking 72 oz of water a day. She has the looks and energy of someone thirty years younger.
