Meet the Team at Compass HCM
Marianne Storm
PRESIDENT/CEO
Marianne was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. She attended LaSalle University, graduating with a B.S. in Marketing. After college, she went to work at The Vanguard Group in Valley Forge for 12 years, serving in both Client Services and Institutional Operations, with various roles in the management of technology development and budgeting.
While working at VGI, Marianne began investing in residential real estate with a focus on student rentals around Westchester University. After building her own portfolio of multi-unit buildings, she transitioned to assisting other buyers in the purchasing of investment real estate.
In 2011, Marianne decided it was time to head to a warmer climate, so she left behind the long, cold winters of the northeast for the long, hot summers of Charleston! Over the years, she’s managed to assimilate into the local way of life while still maintaining some of her Philly street cred. Her favorite activities outside of work include walking on the beach, pampering her dogs, and keeping track of her three children.
