Mayra is a high-level strategic and creative thinker with a proven track record of results in strengthening brand marketing, branding, communications, product and program development, innovative initiatives, and event planning.

Mayra has spent her career helping to build some of the biggest brands in the United States, such as Charles Schwab, Levi’s, Clorox, General Mills, and Kraft, to name a few. She treats brands as living entities and knows how important it is to nurture each one through every life cycle, gaining the necessary clarity for engaging with consumers.

When she isn’t exercising her creative and strategic genius at work, Mayra may be officiating a wedding as a minister (six so far and counting), practicing the art of photography or wild writing, traveling, hanging out with her nieces and nephews, or even mentoring talent.
