We are Polaris Talent
We trace our roots back over 40 years to when Marshall and Marie, lifelong friends, met in junior high. When Marie was looking for business partners she could trust and invest in she turned to Marshall and her daughter, Roma, to help her realize a dream and disrupt an industry while having fun doing it.
When it was time to grow Polaris Talent, Marie, Marshall, and Roma knew that they wanted to bring Bekka on board. Roma and Bekka met when they were at a summer dance program and shortly became best friends.
The strength of Polaris Talent is built on the foundations of the connection between all of us here.
