With 15 years of experience in sales and marketing, I’ve gained invaluable life lessons and faced challenges I never expected. Along the way, I’ve learned to pivot and adapt, turning obstacles into opportunities, which has shaped me into the confident, driven, and authentic person I am today. Over the last 5 years, working in sales and marketing within the real estate and construction industries, I’ve developed a deep passion for building relationships, collaborating with like-minded people, and serving my community.

These experiences have fueled my ambition to start my own business, as I’ve always been determined to lead rather than follow.

As the wife of an incredibly supportive husband and the proud mom of two almost-adult children, I feel the time is right to tap into my creativity, take a leap of faith, and help professionals, non-profits, and small businesses with innovative solutions to challenges, and work towards achieving their goals. I’m excited to embark on this new chapter, continuing to grow personally and professionally, while making a positive impact along the way.

My arrival in marketing started early. I was born into a family of artists, immigrants, and entrepreneurs. Frankly, it’s lucky I didn’t end up as a circus performer. I’m sure I would have fallen off the tightrope by now. My father was an advertising creative director. One grandfather manufactured the first disposable coffee filters in pre-Castro Cuba. Another grandfather invented the bazooka. A great-grandfather invented Neapolitan ice cream. I was destined to invent the first disposable soft-serve grenade launcher, but the ice cream just kept melting!

I took bizarre ideas like those into the University of Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota, and the MIT Sloan School of Management. It should surprise no one that they are all embarrassed to have let me in.

I’ve launched hundreds of new products over a career that’s spanned more than 25 years – as an entrepreneur, product designer, advertising strategist, and executive – everything from medical devices, to virtual healthcare, to non-dairy consumer cheese, to next-generation alternatives to the dreaded “cone of shame” for pets, to sex aides for cows (really!).

The secret to my success has been a careful observation of the world around me – especially stories from history – that show me how others have solved challenges and created new opportunities.

As Senior Vice President and General Manager of Double Forte’s New York office, Maggie leads with spark and strategy. Her journey began in the high-stakes arenas of public affairs and tech PR—think the State Department, Netscape, and America Online—before she uncorked a second act in wine, food, and lifestyle. She’s led campaigns for the likes of Beringer Vineyards, Stags’ Leap Winery, and Chateau Souverain, proving that storytelling, when done right, can be both art and impact.

In 2006, Maggie founded The Barn Group in Healdsburg, CA, where she built buzzworthy, bottom-line-driving campaigns for lifestyle clients. That bold vision led to a merger with Double Forte in 2011, giving rise to Double Forte Wine, a powerhouse PR division known for results and originality.
