Bio
Peter Newton
Maria is an outstanding business development talent, and a pleasure to work with. Both as a partner when she was at OwnLocal and I was at GateHouse, and more recently together with her at Evvnt. It was at Evvnt that Maria made even more of an impression on me. I already knew her as a strong networker, a combination of affable and business-savvy. But she also demonstrated strong leadership, influencing and guiding both peers and those senior to her (including me). More importantly, as part of a fast-moving company, she was a profoundly positive force on and contributor to the company culture. I highly recommend Maria.
Kelsey Kearns
Maria is phenomenal to work with. I've been lucky enough to work with her at both OwnLocal and Evvnt. She cares deeply about doing the best she can and works smart to hit company goals. Her endless passion and energy is the perfect pick-me-up during turbulent sales months. I'm very thankful to have her as a teammate once again!
