As founder of Woodbine, Maureen has never had a typical day at the office (which happens to be a 107-year-old house). After earning her bachelor’s degree in art from the University of Toledo, Maureen headed to North Carolina in 1985 and started Woodbine, putting her love of creative to work. Starting out with just one client, Hanes, and some pretty big dreams, this naturally-caffeinated businesswoman has attracted some exceptional talent and transformed Woodbine into a premier brand revitalization agency. Even though Woodbine has racked up shelves of awards, for Maureen, the best reward is helping brands stand for something bigger than just their products or services. Now in her role as Chief Relationship Officer, Maureen gets to do what she loves best, connect with people and put Woodbine in motion to help them succeed. Believing that creativity is food for the soul, apart from her agency work, Maureen is currently launching a program that introduces photography to women who need hope restored to their lives.
