The throughline in Maureen’s career has been about emerging digital models and monetization. Curiosity about this space led her to join Spotify to start the brand partnerships group for North America ($0 to $75M in supported ad revenue), and later to lead business operations for the company’s move into podcasts (zero podcasts on the service to overtaking Apple within two years).
Most recently, she was COO at Fresh Produce Media, an audio startup producing over two dozen award-winning Audible Originals, and grossing $24M in cumulative revenue over three years.
