Bio
Doug Ryan
Maureen headed up the largest and most profitable division within the RRD Marketing Solutions group. Her combination of drive, curiosity and poise enabled her to lead a diverse and demanding group in a highly competitive category. Different aspects of her broad skill set were impressively applied across marketing strategy, logistics, financial management, sales and production. I'd highly recommend Maureen for a leadership position that demands cross-functional thinking and action.
Toni Thompson
During my extensive tenure at RRD, it was rare to see the organization take a leap of faith to bring in an accomplished leader with the marketplace expertise of Maureen Powers. Maureen led the most significant Business Unit in Marketing Solutions, continuously delivering impressive quarter-over-quarter results. She was passionate about delivering on client needs and challenging the organization to have a real growth mindset while also pivoting towards fast adoption and infusion of modern practices. As a partner and leader of the Retail Solutions business unit, I enjoyed and valued how Maureen collaborated on what it took to delight clients, issues management resulting from COVID, and ongoing supply chain issues. In addition, she has never missed an opportunity to elevate and enlighten everyone on evolving client strategies and concerns. Maureen brought the energy needed to work with teams and other executives to drive meaningful change for clients and the industry. And when I needed a partner to brainstorm on a challenge/opportunity, I could always count on Maureen for validation or constructive feedback. Her desired outcome is always to ensure that everyone wins.
