Bio

While Maura may be able to win a Strutta and give Rachel Ray a run for her money with her 2-minute cooking video, her real reasoning behind founding Strutta is the potential to unite the world through the spirit of online competition. Yes, she really is the bleeding heart among us. As VP of Marketing, Maura's mission is to spread the word, establish Strutta's global online presence and discover the most talented and entertaining players from Bangkok to British Columbia.

Prior to founding Strutta, she was VP of Marketing and Founder at Spinway, where she was largely responsible for making Spinway become the fastest growing ISP in history with over 8 million users in 11 months. She was in charge of the overall communications and marketing strategy at Spinway and worked closely with all partners including Yahoo!, Costco, Barnes & Noble, Capital One and Kmart to streamline communications and ensure the success of their ISP product launches. Prior to Spinway, Maura was founder of Lloyd Edwards, Inc. – a boutique marketing consulting company specializing in marketing communications, training and product launches. Her clients included Forbes 500’s Boston Scientific, Inc. Recently, Maura founded Launch Party Vancouver to promote the bustling start-up scene in her own backyard and connect BC's growing tech community with other tech hubs in Canada and abroad. Her impressive resume and involvement with the Vancouver tech community recently lead RainCity to list her as one of the Vancouver Tech Women to Watch in 2008.

Maura holds a BA in English from UMass Boston and a culinary degree from Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts.
