Maria Taricco – Co-Chair Marketing Sub-Committee
Maria began her volunteer service with the Foundation 10+ years ago, assisting in the early Feasibility & Planning Study. Most recently, Maria has served on the Mar/Comm committee, taking on a leadership with a key focus on social media content. She is also co-chairing the emerging Ambassadors/Marketing sub-committee. The Foundation is excited for her expanded role on the Board.
Maria is currently retired and lives with her husband in London. With a BS in Biology from Royal Holloway in London, Maria accepted a position with P&G to help launch the Portugal subsidiary in 1990. She led the Market Research department and market entry strategies – working at P&G for 4 years based first in Portugal – and then transferring to Sweden to lead the Nordic Europe market entry strategies. She then spent 8 years in brand design and communications – including 4+ years at Design Bridge in London and Milan – serving as key Account Manager. Upon meeting her Italian husband, Maria moved to Milan where she worked for Robilant Associati for the next 4 years, a Milan based brand consultancy. For the past 10 years Maria has collaborated on a free-lance basis with a Portuguese travel publication called Convida in editorial input and translation to English.
