The Accountability Works Leadership Team
Ali Schiller Founder
Ali Schiller is the founder of Accountability Works, which she launched in 2012 to help people follow through on their most important goals with clarity and consistency. Over the past decade, she has worked with entrepreneurs, leaders, and teams to create the structure and support they need to move past procrastination and overwhelm into purposeful action.
As an accountability coach, Ali is known for her grounded and encouraging approach, balancing compassion with directness so that clients not only accomplish their goals but also build confidence and resilience along the way.
Ali is a LinkedIn Learning course author, a skilled workshop facilitator, and the creator of Accountability Works’ signature 12-week program. In addition to her coaching work, she helps leaders and teams develop accountability as a core competency, sharing the principles and practices that have made Accountability Works a trusted authority in the field.
She has been the featured accountability expert for Entrepreneur.com and featured in Business Insider, Fast Company, Psychologies Magazine, and Daily Worth.
Based in Santa Barbara, California, Ali lives with her husband and two children. Outside of work, she loves snowboarding, surfing, and enjoying the mountains and beaches with her family.
Marissa Boisvert Co-Founder
Marissa Boisvert is a Certified Integrative Health Coach and Co-Founder of Accountability Works, where she helps people approach accountability not as a pressure-driven obligation but as a mindful, empowering practice. Formally trained in mindfulness-based behavior change at Duke Integrative Medicine, she integrated mindfulness throughout the AW process, grounding achievement in self-awareness and presence.
Early in her career, Marissa observed that while many people longed to be more present, it was often elusive and difficult to sustain. Through Accountability Works, she discovered that accountability itself is a pathway to mindfulness, providing the structure, support, and clarity people need to consistently show up for what matters most.
As an accountability coach, Marissa helps people arrive at the “sweet spot between driving and allowing.” The space where presence and productivity feed each other.
Her work has been featured in Business Insider, Fast Company, Thrive Global, and Insight Timer.
Marissa lives in Asheville, NC with her husband. A place where the rhythm of life naturally reflects the practices she teaches. She is drawn to people who care for the planet, the arts, and anything that makes her think critically or laugh.
