Prior to her current role as Operations Manager, she served as Vice President of Human Resources and Administrative Services. Another one of her more notable roles was Zone Manager in Kansas City, where she was the first African American to hold that position in the U.S. 

Today, she has regional responsibility for approximately 700 people in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.  Janet Marzett is the second female to date on the executive leadership team, known as the Operations Committee for the Americas region and the highest-ranking African-American in Daimler Financial Services, AG.
