Mary has over 30 years of leadership experience across various industries, including media, tech, healthcare, sports, and many other global organizations. She is the Founder and CEO of MVP Executive Development, a national leadership, coaching, and organizational management consultancy with offices in New York, Connecticut, and Illinois. Her clients range from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups with a broad reach of industries, from FinTech to Football (the NFL). As a seasoned executive leadership coach, Mary works with both companies and individuals to unlock their potential, improving business performance and catalyzing growth. Her coaching methods bring a fresh lens to business and a perspective that nurtures teamwork, helping drive results through grace, empathy, and Humane Leadership. Before starting her company in 2012, Mary was a partner at two leading global executive search firms. She also spent a decade at Tribune Company in Chicago, serving as National Managing Director of Talent, where she led a team of recruiting professionals. This is where her understanding and expertise in recruiting and coaching were honed. She worked closely with more than 20 newspapers, 27 television stations, and hundreds of digital assets nationwide to attract and retain the best and brightest. In her early years, Mary worked in both the tech sector and the media and entertainment industry, where she began her career as a television reporter. Her innate curiosity and ability to connect with people paved the way for her life's work: helping leaders at all levels channel what “lights them up” and inspires them into more fulfilling and successful personal and professional journeys. Mary earned her MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Business and a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and Public Relations from Illinois State University. Mary currently lives in Westchester, NY, with her husband and family. She is a part of Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches, which brings together the world's leading executive coaches, consultants, speakers, authors, iconic leaders, and entrepreneurs. Mary also volunteers for various local charities. Her first book, the USA Today National Bestseller “What Lights You Up? Illuminate Your Path and Take the Next Big Step in Your Career,” was released on October 8, 2024, and is now available on bookshelves.
