Meet Marilena Narbona – The Athena Network International Director

Marilena Narbona is a people connector and networking strategist.

Her instinct to reach out and help people to make the right connections along with her interpersonal skills are at the heart of everything she does, which she has carried out both with her own UK groups of business networking both in London and recently in Bristol and also internationally.

She is a spontaneous and emotional communicator, multilingual and cosmopolitan, naturally at ease in multicultural environments.

Marilena’s experience spans from corporate ”before children” life – when she worked in London for a global Company -, to creating a ground breaking method and schools of English as-a-second-and-third-language-for-toddlers, to sitting on the Board of Governors of International schools, always liaising with consulates and embassies, private companies and corporations.

This varied and strongly corporate-influenced international background together with what she calls her new found paradise, her soul place on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Mallorca, provided a sound springboard for more recent entrepreneurial ventures, among which her passion project, Mallorca Home Hunters, a property search company she’s co-founded in 2024 aimed at helping her clients to navigate the island’s diverse property market to ensure they find a home that perfectly matches their unique lifestyle and preferences.

What is however Marilena’s ongoing passion is supporting and connecting women in business, something Marilena worked tirelessly at when she joined The Athena Network in 2008 and created the largest and fastest growing Athena area with 12 strong groups and a huge number of committed, inspirational, vibrant ladies who shared her passion and vision and who created with her a phenomenal team flying the flag of The Athena Network in the capital of England.

 

She is now The Athena Network International Director and is mentoring The Athena Network International Area Managers/Ambassadors, helping them to launch networking groups anywhere in the world.

As ever, she is holding the vision of reaching out and helping women business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, to make connections that will drive both their business and personal growth.

“For all the adjectives in the English language, there isn’t one that does this lady quite the justice she deserves. Let me turn her into a verb instead. If you’ve been Marilenaed, you’ve been seen, heard, supported, upheld, championed and loved.

This wonderful human being would happily sit in the shadow to catapult you into the light, so only YOU take the applause.

She’ll take a bullet for you if it means you and your business explode into a shimmering ball of glitter.

She Marilenas fiendishly in the background, doing the impossible to make you and your business grow beyond recognition.

With kindness, dedication and the utmost professionalism, she’s got you. Always. “

“When I first joined Athena I wanted to grow my business. What I found here is more than that: friendship, support, fun, personal development. I cannot speak highly enough of Marilena’s excellent work in creating opportunities to help as many women as she can reach”

Marilena, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you first of all for making me and indeed all your new members feel so very welcome as we join the Athena family. Thank you for your on-going support and for the referrals you have given me. You certainly practice what you preach. And lastly, thank you, for a wonderful insightful training day. I have come away feeling so much more confident with regard to preparing my up till now dreaded one minutes!

“I have known Marilena for a couple of years now and throughout that time she has always been full of energy, enthusiasm, inspiration and encouragement. I really don’t know how she does it as she puts everything she has into what she does – which is a lot!

Although she networks with so many people she manages to think about all of them, looking for opportunities and really caring about them.”

“If you haven’t already joined Athena I urge you to do so! After my first meeting I was ‘high’ for days. I felt energized and hugely supported by a group of ladies whom I’d only just met. I now feel I ‘can do’. I am re-starting my business in the UK after having been abroad for the past 12 years. To start again seemed so incredibly daunting – until I went to my first Athena meeting. I immediately made a wonderful client and have found a wonderful marketing mentor. The added bonus is I now have a social life too! Athena rocks!”
S.F.

I was extremely lucky that Marilena found me in June 2008 and invited me to join her first Athena group – I didn’t know the organization at all, what a leap of faith!. Under her tireless and inspired leadership our group has become a source of business, friendship and ideas. It is so refreshing to be able to meet with a group of like minded ladies who completely understand the requirements and pressures of running your own business.

At every meeting I find new ideas, prospects and seem somehow to be introduced to just the right people who can help me to develop my business.
